Morphological identification
Colonies and cardinal temperatures
Colonies in V-8, PDA, and MEA with no distinctive pattern. Minimum temperature for growth is 2°C, optimum is 22–24°C, and maximum 32°C.
Asexual phase
Sporangia nonpapillate, persistent, ovoid, obpyriform, or elipsoid (55–65 µm x 40–45 µm), showing internal and often nested proliferation, oroginated on simple, unbranched sporangiophores. Hyphal swellings rarely produced and are coralloid with irregular shapes. Chlamydospores are absent.
Sexual phase
Heterothallic. Oogonia showing characteristic bullate wall projections, antheridia amphygynous showing one or 2 cells when paired with the opposite mating type. Oospores plerotic.
Most typical characters
Phytophthora cambivora is heterothallic, forming oogonia with characteristic warty, or bullate walls, and 2-celled antheridia.
