White mold affects a wide range of hosts and causes sclerotinia stem rot. It is known to infect 408 plant species. As a nonspecific plant pathogen, [3] diverse host range and ability to infect plants at any stage of growth makes white mold a very serious disease. The fungus can survive on infected tissues, in the soil, and on living plants.
Mutinus caninus, commonly known as the dog stinkhorn, [1] [2] is a small thin, phallus-shaped woodland fungus, with a dark tip. It is often found growing in small groups on wood debris, or in leaf litter , during summer and autumn in Europe, Asia, and eastern North America.

Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that affects a wide range of plants. Powdery mildew diseases are caused by many different species of ascomycete fungi in the order Erysiphales.

F. septica's plasmodium may be anywhere from white to yellow-gray, [6] typically 2.5–20 cm (1.0–7.9 in) in diameter, and 1–3 cm (0.4–1.2 in) thick. [7] The plasmodium eventually transforms into a sponge-like aethalium , analogous to the spore-bearing fruiting body of a mushroom ; which then degrades, darkening in color, and releases its ...
