I think you are talking about blastomycosis, my brother-in-law's father got
it and was very ill. I don't have any links for it, but you can probably
find info on the internet via a search engine.

Subject: Harmful Fungus in Sphagnum Moss?
In my few years of growing aroids I have periodically heard stories about a
harmful
(to humans) fungus that grows and reproduces itself in ground or otherwise
virgin
sphagnum. Has anyone else heard these stories or seen written information on
the subject?
