| Abstract: | Five Phytophthora species were isolated from the rhizosphere of ash‐dominated areas of the Bia?owieza European lowland forest nature reserve area. Morphological and DNA analyses identified Phytophthora fragariaefolia, P. plurivora, P. cactorum, P. lacustris and P. pseudosyringae. This is the first record of P. fragariaefolia in ash forests and demonstrates that several species in the potentially highly damaging Phytophthora genus are present within a near‐pristine ecosystem. |
