There was a disease going around called mildew which made the potatoes all black and mushy so nobody could eat them or they would be poisoned
The disease was not called Mildew, it was called The Blight (Phytophthora infestans).
The potato famine was caused by a fungi called potato blight. after just days from coming out of the ground, the potato's would be slimy, black, and rotten.
