| Aspergillus fumigatus | B6F-25C-1 | JX517279 | plant debris, China | FJ560718 | 0.991 | 1(B) | 25 |
| Brevibacillus agri | A4-25C-2 | JX517278 | brick wall, China | GQ927168 | 0.998 | 1(A) | 25 |
Only one colony of each species was recovered on R2A cultures for the snow samples.

Taxonomy based on BLAST analysis with full contigs.
b
Isolate names represent samples from sites A, B, or C; sample location at each site (1–6; see Fig. 3); F=fungi; temperature for lab incubation (4°C, 25°C, or 37°C); and strain number in sequence from 1.
