Sorry, I wasn't clear when I first posted the question. When I stated "fitness", it has to do with the well-being of the fungus under stressed conditions. For instance, after a fungicide is applied, the fitness of the fungus is implying the current health of the fungus or the amount of growth after the application of a fungicide. If fitness does not work with what I am trying to explain, please feel free to advise on another term. Thank you again!
