Another state adjoining Colorado has now reported the confirmed presence of Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd), the fungus that causes the White Nose Syndrome disease that is wiping out bat populations across the US. The BLM reports finding Pd on bats and cave walls in two caves in eastern New Mexico. So far, Pd and WNS still have not been confirmed in Colorado, although it has been found in many other states, including most of those neighboring Colorado.
