Phacidiopycnis washingtonensis
Phacidiopycnis washingtonensis, is a species of fungus in the family Phacidiaceae, first described by C.L. Xiao & J.D. Rogers in 2005. It is a cause of rubbery rot, a storage disease of apples. First described in North Germany, it affects several apple varieties, including commercially important Jonagold and Elstar. Losses caused by P. washingtonensis during storage are usually below 1% but can reach 5–10% of apples.[1]
