In white nose syndrome, Pseudogymnoascus destructans can be found growing on the muzzle, wing, and ear of bats, in this case, a little brown bat.

Pseudogymnoascus destructans (formerly known as Geomyces destructans) is a psychrophilic (cold-loving) fungus that causes white-nose syndrome (WNS), a fatal disease that has devastated bat populations in parts of the United States and Canada. Unlike species of Geomyces, P. destructans forms asymmetrically curved conidia.[1]Pseudogymnoascus destructans grows very slowly on artificial media and cannot grow at temperatures above 20 °C.[1][2][3] It can grow around 4 °C to 20 °C, which encompasses the temperatures found in winter bat hibernacula.[1][2] Phylogenic evaluation has revealed this organism should be reclassified under the family Pseudeurotiaceae, changing its name to Pseudogymnoascus destructans.[4]
