Ascospore and pycnospore discharge and germination were examined. The causal fungus was psychrophilic, with an optimum growing temperature of 10 °C. Pathogenicity to Abies sachalinensis was ascertained by artificial inoculation, and symptoms were induced also by spraying a pyenospore suspension on to untreated shoots.
