Le syndrome du museau blanc (SMB) se caractérise par des mortalités massives de chauves-souris souvent associées à l’observation d’une croissance fongique blanche sur le museau, les oreilles ou la membrane des ailes des chauves-souris touchées par cette affection. [...] un groupe d’experts américains a récemment identifié ce mycète en tant que nouvelle espèce de champignon qui porte maintenant le nom de Geomyces destructans (Gargas et coll. 2009).
