Coprinopsis psychromorbida or Cottony Snow Mold is a cause of snow mold. [1] It is a basidiomycete, a psychrophile, and a plant pathogen. [1]
Physiology
C. psychromorbida can thrive at least down to −5 °C (23 °F), optimally 5–10 °C (41–50 °F), and ceases growth at 25 °C (77 °F). [1]
Hosts
Grows as a snow mold in wheat, rye, and other grasses ( Poaceae) and can also cause storage rotting in apple and pear. [1]
