    Saprolegnia ferax is a species of water mold, often considered a type of fungus, which is typically found in freshwater environments. It has been recognized as a significant pathogen in fish and amphibians, causing saprolegniasis or "water mold disease", which can lead to significant mortality events.

It can survive in diverse environmental conditions and gets nutrition from decaying organic matter, hence the prefix “sapro-” which means “rotten".
