Cobweb is a fungal disease of commercially cultivated mushrooms. Several members of the ascomycete genus Cladobotryum sp. have been reported as causal agents. White button mushroom is the most frequently cited host, but a wide range of cultivated edible mushrooms suffer cobweb. The pathology causes production losses and reduces the crop surface available. The parasite produces a great number of harmful conidia that can be released easily and distributed throughout the mushroom farm to generate secondary points of infection. To prevent initial outbreaks, hygiene is of primary importance within the facilities dedicated to mushroom cultivation, while additional measures must be implemented to control and reduce cobweb if there is an outbreak, including chemical and biological methods. This review summarizes and discusses the knowledge available on the historic occurrence of cobweb and its impact on commercial mushroom crops worldwide. Causal agents, disease ecology, including the primary source of infection and the dispersal of harmful conidia are also reviewed. Finally, control treatments to prevent the disease from breaking out are discussed.

“…Control measures that appear effective against dry bubble disease include implementing sanitary practices and spraying fungicides (GEA et al, 2005). However, to control the pests and diseases in mushrooms, while stringent specifications have been laid down regarding the use of chemical products, reports on tolerance to fungicides have triggered the urgency to develop disease resistant strains via genetic enhancement, as an environmentally sustainable and successful strategy (LARGETEAU & SAVOIE, 2010). Santos et al Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture has no registered disease control products for the commercial cultivation of A. bisporus (MAPA -IN 18, 2009); however, the producers apply fungicides daily, following the recommendations made in other countries, particularly the United States.…”

Essential oils in the control of dry bubble disease in white button mushroom

et al. 2017

Lecanicillium fungicola, which causes Dry bubble disease, induces infections and inflicts major losses in champignon production. The control can be managed through measures of hygiene and use of fungicides; however, in Brazil there are no registered products. This study aimed to estimate the influence of various essential oils extracted from Melissa officinalis, Thymus vulgaris, Origanum vulgare, Eucalyptus globulus, Cinnamomum zeylanicum and Syzygium aromaticum on the in vitro development and their uses. Therefore, analysis was performed of the L. fungicola isolates in vitro and the best oils were tested in vivo. Besides, the Agaricus bisporus - L. fungicola interaction was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cinnamon and clove oils in concentrations of 0.4% and thyme oil of 0.8% were identified as good growth inhibitors of the pathogenic mycelium. Effective inhibition of the conidial germination was seen in all concentrations by cinnamon oil, and by clove and thyme oils only at 0.4% and 0.8%, respectively. When the essential oils were applied post-infestation in the in vivo experiments the incidence of the disease in the mushrooms was much lower. From the SEM it was clear that 19 hours after the inoculation of A. bisporus with L. fungicola, the spores had already completely germinated, revealing the presence of the infection. Therefore, the findings of this study indicated that the oil extracts of cinnamon, clove and thyme are potential and efficient alternatives in the control of dry bubble disease.

“…Trichoderma aggressivum colonises the compost used as a growth substrate in mushroom cultivation (Largeteau & Savoie 2010). In later stages of colonisation green coloured conidia form in both the compost and the casing layer of infected areas which gives the condition its common names, green mould disease or Trichoderma compost mould (Seaby 1987;Fletcher & Gaze 2008).…”

“…In later stages of colonisation green coloured conidia form in both the compost and the casing layer of infected areas which gives the condition its common names, green mould disease or Trichoderma compost mould (Seaby 1987;Fletcher & Gaze 2008). In areas colonised by T. aggressivum mushroom fruit body formation is retarded and fruit bodies that do form may be of poor quality due to damage or discolouration (Largeteau & Savoie 2010). The estimated losses in mushroom yield caused by T. aggressivum worldwide are in the tens of millions of dollars (Kredics et al 2010).…”

Proteomic response of Trichoderma aggressivum f. europaeum to Agaricus bisporus tissue and mushroom compost

2014

a b s t r a c tA cellular proteomic analysis was performed on Trichoderma aggressivum f. europaeum.Thirty-four individual protein spots were excised from 2-D electropherograms and analysed by ESI-Trap Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS). Searches of the NCBInr and SwissProt protein databases identified functions for 31 of these proteins based on sequence homology. A differential expression study was performed on the intracellular fraction of T. aggressivum f. europaeum grown in media containing Agaricus bisporus tissue and Phase 3 mushroom compost compared to a control medium. Differential expression was observed for seven proteins, three of which were upregulated in both treatments, two were down regulated in both treatments and two showed qualitatively different regulation under the two treatments. No proteins directly relating to fungal cell wall degradation or other mycoparasitic activity were observed. Functions of differentially produced intracellular proteins included oxidative stress tolerance, cytoskeletal structure, and cell longevity. Differential production of these proteins may contribute to the growth of T. aggressivum in mushroom compost and its virulence toward A. bisporus.
