Answer 1

If the white noses are caused by a fungus, then the fungus should be observable and possibly cultivable from nose samples.

If the white noses are caused by a transmissible fungus, then healthy bats that come into contact with sick bats should develop white noses.

If the white noses are caused by a deadly fungus, then healthy bats that contract the fungus should die at higher rates.
