A genus of fungi that causes rapid decay and rotting in vegetables and fruits, particularly berries and squashes.
From choana (funnel) + -phora (bearer), named for the funnel-shaped sporangiophores (spore-bearing structures) produced by this mold.
Choanephora is the sneaky mold that turns your fresh strawberries into fuzzy disasters in your refrigerator—it spreads so fast because it can reproduce both sexually and asexually, giving it multiple attack strategies!
