Botryotinia calthae es un hongo ascomiceto de la familia Sclerotiniaceae, el estado sexual de un patógeno similar a Botrytis que infecta la hierba de San Valentín (Caltha palustris) en hábitats de humedal. Forma esclerocios en el tejido vegetal infectado que persisten en el suelo para iniciar infecciones futuras. Como patógeno necrotrófico, mata el tejido del hospedador y luego se alimenta del material muerto resultante.
