I know most of you have had a pretty harsh/wet/cold etc winter. Ours has been quite the opposite. December was cold and I had frost damage and losses of some things in the garden. January and February were completely void of rain and in the 70's during the day & probably 40's-50's @ night. Our rain total this year was probably around 15 " (maybe). Normal is around 40..
I had some swan-necks, and bloom times were way out of whack on many varieties.
While I haven't thought of it as a fungus-y year, I've had other things in the garden die this winter from a variety of things.. Armillaria, Phytophthora, Verticillium are all in my soil, and probably a few I haven't identified. I chalked it up to weakened plants due to the drought... but I don't know.. and we can probably add botrytis now too.... It seems the more I know, the more problems I have. Ignorance is bliss?? sigh.
