Chris said that some of his CD's were getting covered with fungi and therefore I used the perfectly normal word 'fungous'

Look it up and you'll see that I'm right

That is actually not the problem in that sentence
You see, I am not objecting to the word "fungous", which is perfectly fine. I am however objecting to the word "CD's", a mistake you have, surprisingly enough, made again in this post No apostrophe
