“…[28] It has been shown that both the concentration and particle size of AgNPs influence antifungal efficacy [23,24,27] with an average particle size between 7-25 nm inhibiting Fusarium oxysporum, Pythium spinosum, and Botrytis cinerea, and the highest inhibition observed at 0.01 mg/ mL. [30][31][32] In other studies, AgNPs of smaller sizes (3,5,8, and 10 nm) and different concentrations (0.0125-0.100 mg/mL) used against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici (FORL) strains, [31] showed improved activity with a decrease in particle size and increase in concentration.…”

“…[3] Major fungal diseases of mushrooms include cobweb disease (caused by Cladobotryum dendroides), wet bubble disease (caused by Mycogone perniciosa), dry bubble disease (caused by Lecanicillium fungicola), and green mold disease (caused by Trichoderma aggressivum f. aggressivum). [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Most mushroom growers employ various methods to control mycopathogens, including strict hygiene, steam sterilization, and chemical fungicide treatments. [1,11] Fungicides such as prochloraz-Mn, benomyl, chlorothalonil, thiabendazole, and carbendazim have been used in mushroom cultivation.…”

This study aimed to determine the possible control of selected pathogenic and competitive fungi of A. bisporus by three nanosilver clay composites and establish the effective concentrations of the composites for inhibiting pathogens. Nanosilver (AgNPs) clay (zeolite, montmorillonite, and palygorskite) composites were synthesized by a microwave‐assisted surface functionalization technique, and various techniques characterized the products. Zeolite and montmorillonite composites showed uniformly distributed spherical AgNPs with an average size of 3.33 nm and 2.85 nm, respectively, whereas palygorskite presented agglomerated and unevenly distributed AgNPs. The influence of the various composites on 9 fungi, including strains of T. aggressivum f. aggressivum, L. fungicola, C. dendroides, and Mycogone sp., was determined in vitro at different concentrations. At 10 mg/mL, AgNP‐zeolite and AgNP‐montmorillonite inhibited 8 out of 9 pathogens, while AgNP‐palygorskite only inhibited 1 pathogen. The nanosilver clay composites tested against A. bisporus revealed no adverse effects on mycelial growth at any concentrations tested. This study confirms that AgNP‐zeolite and AgNP‐montmorillonite composites have effective antifungal properties and can be used as alternative fungicides against mushroom pathogens without affecting A. bisporus growth. However, further investigation is required to unravel the mechanism of selective antifungal activity observed in this study.

“…With robust yield, attractive color, culinary delicacy and nutritional properties, milky mushroom has attracted the prospective mushroom growers, especially in the southern part of India [1][2][3]. It is one of the five major commercial mushrooms grown in India and comprises about 3 per cent of total production [4]. Longer shelf-life and white color of the fruit body are the key attractive features of C. indica which increase its demand among mushroom growers and consumers [5,6].…”

Calocybe indica, generally referred as milky mushroom, is one of the edible mushroom species suitable for cultivation in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. However, lack of potential high yielding strains has limited its wider adaptability. To overcome this limitation, in this study, the germplasms of C. indica from different geographical regions of India were characterized based on their morphological, molecular and agronomical attributes. Internal transcribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS4)-based PCR amplification, sequencing and nucleotide analysis confirmed the identity of all the studied strains as C. indica. Further, evaluation of these strains for morphological and yield parameters led to the identification of eight high yielding strains in comparison to the control (DMRO-302). Moreover, genetic diversity analysis of these thirty-three strains was performed using ten sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers/combinations. The Unweighted Pair-group Method with Arithmetic Averages (UPGMA)-based phylogenetic analysis categorized the thirty-three strains along with the control into three clusters. Cluster I possesses the maximum number of strains. Among the high yielding strains, high antioxidant activity and phenol content was recorded in DMRO-54, while maximum protein content was observed in DMRO-202 and DMRO-299 as compared with the control strain. The outcome of this study will help the mushroom breeders and growers in commercializing C. indica.
