Taxonomic Reclassification of the Fungal Pathogen Causing Dry Berry Disease of Caneberries into the Division Ascomycota as

As molecular genetic techniques improve and sequence data becomes available for more fungal species, taxonomic classifications historically based upon growth morphology alone are being revisited and occasionally reclassified. Herein, we present such an instance for the fungal pathogen that causes dry berry disease of caneberries. The organism was previously described as the basidiomycete fungus
