Typhula cf. subvariabilis, new snow mould in Antarctica
We collected snow blight of moss, Polytrichum juniperinum on King George Island, maritime Antarctica. Host died in a circle of about 10–30 cm after snow melts. Clamp connected hyphae and no sclerotia were observed on tip of host leaves. DNA sequence of ITS region from moss symptoms were perfectly ma...
