Saprolegniales, a group of aquatic fungi, are common pathogens of fish and amphibians.

The hyphae of Saprolegniales are typically branched and non-septate, giving them a distinctive "cottony" appearance.

Saprolegniales reproduce both sexually and asexually, with asexual reproduction occurring through the production of zoospores.

Zoospores of Saprolegniales are motile and can swim through water, facilitating their dispersal and establishment of new infections.
