Phytophthora ramorum
- classification You may have been confused to see Phytophthora ramorum described sometimes as a fungus-like organism. The reason for this is that the oomycetes (water mould fungi), including Phytophthora, Pythium and downy mildews are now generally considered to be non-photosynthetic members of the taxon - CHROMISTA.
