The white-nose fungus, discovered just four years ago, has killed more than 1 million bats in the northeastern U.S., alone. Since its discovery it has spread down the Appalachians, most recently to Tennessee where it has been found in six caves in Van Buren, Carter, Fentress, Sullivan and Montgomery counties.
