An isolate of a novel fungus and an isolate of a novel fungus-like microbe were obtained during field research conducted in Kuujjuarapik-Whapmagoostui, Quebec, in subarctic Canada, located on the southeastern coast of Hudson Bay, from August to September 2016. The isolates were identified as a Typhula sp. and Globisporangium sp. (syn. Pythium sp.), respectively. Mycelia with clamps connections were isolated from small sclerotia (0.2–0.7 × 0.5–1.2 mm in size) collected from dead leaves of sea pea (Lathyrus japonicus) on the banks of the Great Whale River in Kuujjuarapik-Whapmagoostui. The isolate was found to be closely related with T. japonica based on sclerotium morphology and hyphal growth under different temperatures. The Globisporangium sp. isolate was found to be most closely related to G. okanoganense based on phylogenetic analyses using rDNAITS. G. okanoganense is known as an important pathogen causing snow rot on wheat and other winter crops. Further investigation is needed to determine whether the novel fungus and fungus-like microbe found in Kuujjuarapik-Whapmagoostui are phytopathogenic like the snow rot pathogens to which they are closely related.

2016年8月至2016年9月，在加拿大哈德逊湾东南海岸的亚热带魁北克省Kuujjuarapik-Whapmagoostui进行的野外研究期间，获得了一种新型真菌的分离物和一种类真菌新细菌的分离物。被鉴定为鼠疫菌。和Globisporangium sp。（syn。Pythium sp。）。带有夹钳连接的菌丝体是从小菌核中分离出来的（菌核大小为0.2–0.7×0.5–1.2 mm），菌核是从位于Kuujjuarapik-Whapmagoostui的大鲸鱼河两岸的豌豆（山La豆）的枯叶收集的。发现该分离物与日本粳稻密切相关。基于菌核形态和菌丝在不同温度下的生长。该Globisporangium SP。根据使用rDNAITS进行的系统发育分析，发现该分离物与冈冈氏志贺菌之间的关系最为密切。G. okanoganense被认为是引起小麦和其他冬季农作物雪腐的重要病原体。需要进一步调查以确定在Kuujjuarapik-Whapmagoostui中发现的新型真菌和类真菌微生物是否具有致病性，就像它们密切相关的雪腐病原体一样。
