Godzilla's fungal infection

I haven't seen the new film yet, but saw a pudgy Godzilla doodle done by Greg Broadmore, and decided to do my own version. I figure those protruding growths are ascospores from a Cordyceps fungus, which invades a host's body and takes over it's tissue and brain. So really this is a fungus invading a port city, using Godzilla as a host vehicle. I'm guessing that is not what the film is about, but I have no idea. I'll find out this weekend.
