'fungus'), referring to the large round oogonia, structures containing the female gametes, that are characteristic of the oomycetes. The name "water mold" refers to their earlier classification as fungi and their preference for conditions of high humidity and running surface water, which is characteristic for the basal taxa of the oomycetes.
Phytophthora infestans is an oomycete or water mold, a fungus-like microorganism that causes the serious potato and tomato disease known as late blight or potato blight. Early blight, caused by Alternaria solani, is also often called "potato blight".
Achlya is a genus of oomycete (water mold), in the family Saprolegniaceae.The genus includes several plant pathogens including Achlya conspicua and Achlya klebsiana.Unlike many other microorganisms, cell expansion is governed by changes in cell wall strength rather than changes in osmotic pressure.

Phytophthora (from Greek φυτόν (phytón), "plant" and φθορά (phthorá), "destruction"; "the plant-destroyer") is a genus of plant-damaging oomycetes (water molds), whose member species cause economic losses on crops worldwide, as well as environmental damage in natural ecosystems. The cell wall of Phytophthora is made up of cellulose.
Molds are microscopic fungi, Josephine Wee, Ph.D., an assistant professor of food science at Penn State University, tells TODAY.com. Other examples of fungi include mushrooms and yeast, the kind ...
Pythium irregulare is a soil borne oomycete plant pathogen. [1] Oomycetes, also known as "water molds", are fungal-like protists.They are fungal-like because of their similar life cycles, but differ in that the resting stage is diploid, they have coenocytic hyphae, a larger genome, cellulose in their cell walls instead of chitin, and contain zoospores (asexual motile spores) and oospores ...
As climate change is predicted to increase global temperatures, humidity, and rain, researchers studying the public health effects of mold and chemical intolerance say the associated water damage ...
Pythium aphanidermatum is a soil borne [1] plant pathogen. Pythium is a genus in the class Oomycetes, which are also known as water molds.Oomycetes are not true fungi, as their cell walls are made of cellulose instead of chitin, they are diploid in their vegetative state, and they form coenocytic hyphae (lacking crosswalls).
