It sneaks out of the water. According to the article published in Science magazine, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans species of 90 fungal species have been extinct. The number of 501 amphibian species exposed to this fungus has decreased, and the number of 124 species has been reduced by more than 90 percent.
