Oomycetes (Water Molds)

Oomycetes (Water Molds) is a Browse By group of the Nature Atlas that gathers the oomycetes or water molds, fungus-like organisms that are not fungi, such as the Phytophthora crop and tree pathogens. An entry belongs here when its own cited article states that it is an oomycete. It excludes true fungi and slime molds. Members are placed by the classification their cited article gives, not by common name or appearance alone.
