Hypomyces spp. is an important group of Hypocreaceae that are widely distributed all over the world, one of the main pathogenic of mushroom cobweb disease. In July 2021, three strains were isolated from symptoms of cobweb disease on fruiting bodies of Auricularia cornea in Guizhou Province, China. Based on phylogenetic analysis and morphological studies, they were then introduced as a new taxon, Hypomyces cornea sp. nov. The pathogenicity test showed that the mushrooms infected with spore suspension had the same symptoms as those in the field, and the same pathogens could be re-isolated, which fulfill Koch’s postulates. The biological characterization of Hypomyces cornea was explored to identify conditions that may be conducive to pathogen habitat, including the effects of different temperature, pH, carbon source, nitrogen source and light conditions. The results showed that the optimal temperature for the pathogen is 25℃, pH = 6, and the best carbon and nitrogen source are soluble starch and peptone, respectively. Nine common fungicides were screened in vitro by hyphal growth inhibition method, and the most suitable fungicide is Prochloraz manganese chloride complex, with high inhibition rate to the pathoge and low inhibition rate to the mushrooms. The results will provide an important basis and material for effective prevention and control of Auricularia cornea cobweb disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
