People don’t pay nearly as much attention to them as they do to honeybees, which we already know have been in trouble.

I have a cell phone because my inlaws pay for it, and I use it perhaps once a month. I wouldn't care that much if I had to get rid of it. But I also know that other people would care very much. Just look at how young children get cell phones now because their parents don't want them to ever be out of contact. Changing that would be tough, and I wouldn't bet on it happening quickly, even if cell phones were found to be the problem. And that's scary. I know what you mean.

Do we know how important that fungus is to other parts of our ecosystem? Considering cell phones are relatively new and by no means critical to our survival, you would think we would worry about more important things. Of course I was in the same mindset a year ago when I couldn't be away from my phone because of using it for work. Once I took the plunge and got rid of it, not only have I been much happier and less stressed about being available 24/7, I have saved a bundle. Consider how many hours you spend working to pay for something like a cell phone (or many other non essential things) and then think of how much easier life is when you no longer have to make enough to pay for those things. I know that isn't an easy way to think for many, but this last year has seen me rethinking a lot of my old ways.
