Definition
A microscopic fungus that lives in water and soil and can parasitize other organisms, including a devastating pathogen that affects amphibians worldwide.
Etymology
From Greek 'chytridion' (little vessel), named for the pot-like structures that release the fungus's spores into water.
Kelly Says
Chytridiomycosis, caused by certain chytrids, has wiped out entire frog species and is considered one of the most catastrophic wildlife diseases in modern times—a tiny invisible fungus has literally changed the course of evolution.
