B.1.617.2 is what the CDC calls a "Variant of Interest". Which is one level below "Variant of Concern", which is what B.1.1.7 -- the dominant variant in the UK -- is.
B.1.617.2 has "Potential reduction in neutralization by post-vaccination sera". It's potential because it hasn't been measured; they're saying this because of similarity to a California variant.
Wearing a contaminated mask will do that to you. It's actually really easy for that to happen, especially without proper training and hygeine. Fungal infections are hardly anything new in society, people breathe in spores all the time, and lungs especially are prone to them. If you wear a mask twice, chances are you're fighting off a mild fungal infection. If you wear a mask for more than 15 minutes in humid conditions, chances are. If you touch the inside of a mask, chances are. You fight most of them off, but some can get a hold.
No 'rona will "make" fungi grow in you. It's viral, and virii don't spontaneously evolve into cellular organisms in predictable manners.
Oh, yeah, I saw that headline, too. Wild if it's true.
But we're talking India, man. Filth central. People probably get all kinds of wild and woolly infections that would make an AIDS victim boggle. Especially after playing with all that government-approved, wuflu-fighting cowshitnpiss.

tl;dr it's a nothingburger.
I think you mis-spelled "great excuse to extend the lockdown until 2025".
So this isn't the one that makes fungus grow inside you?

No that's the steroid treatment that some Indian doctors are using, allegedly.
Some people will get bacterial infections from wearing masks, especially since some places are mandating them for physical activity.
