The conditions for development and growth of fungi vary greatly, as do the fungi
from the mushroom in your burger over root rot through to mildew. The only
common thread is moisture (or humidity) and temperature. Usually (but not always)
warmth is required.
We know, that not all plants are susceptible to mildew - and oxygen deprivation
is obviously not part of that, - as not all plants are prone to develop root rot. The
discussion here is whether bananas are, and I maintain, that they are not due to
watering.

Name a plant that will not get root rot.
But thanks, Tony, at least there was some rot in banana roots involved in that
