“…Bacteria in turn benefit from enhanced dispersal and growth on fungal exudates (Warmink and Van Elsas, 2009). However, fungi may also consume bacteria and assimilate bacterial carbon and nitrogen as a nutrient source (Vos et al, 2017;Kertesz and Cai, 2018); whereas bacteria can cause significant yield losses by causing a wide range of mushroom diseases (Frey-Klett et al, 2011;Gea and Navarro, 2017).…”

Summary Mushroom cropping consists of the development and fructification of different fungal species in soil or selective substrates that provide nutrients and support for the crop. The microorganisms present in these environments strongly influence, and in some cases are required for the growth and fructification of cultivated mushrooms. Some fungi such as truffles and morels form ectomycorrhizal associations with host plants. For these fungi, helper bacteria play an important role in the establishment of plant‐fungal symbioses. Selective processes acting on the microbiota present in substrates and soils determine the composition of the microbiota inhabiting the fruit bodies or interacting with fungal hyphae, and both configure the mushroom holobiont, understood as the fungus plus associated microorganisms. Here, we review current knowledge regarding the cross‐talk between bacteria and fungi during mushroom cultivation. We highlight the potential use of bioinoculants as agronomical amendments to increase mushroom productivity through growth promotion or as biocontrol agents to control pests and diseases.

“…Trichoderma grows well on carbohydrates, and in this sense, seed grain is an important source of food and is very vulnerable. Once installed on the compost, the pathogen is able to colonize large areas since it is favored by the distribution of the seed grains in the compost mass [ 3 ].…”

“…A consumer-driven shift is claiming for healthier products with an environmentally respectful background to cut down dependence on chemical fungicides. Cultivated mushrooms are grown indoors under controlled environmental conditions that facilitate the implementation of integrated disease management programs, combining chemical fungicides, biocontrol alternatives, and correct agronomical management (the choice of casing and moisture level, the disinfection method, and management at the time of infection) to prevent outbreaks and disease dispersion [2][3][4].…”

Mycoparasites cause heavy losses in commercial mushroom farms worldwide. The negative impact of fungal diseases such as dry bubble (Lecanicillium fungicola), cobweb (Cladobotryum spp.), wet bubble (Mycogone perniciosa), and green mold (Trichoderma spp.) constrains yield and harvest quality while reducing the cropping surface or damaging basidiomes. Currently, in order to fight fungal diseases, preventive measurements consist of applying intensive cleaning during cropping and by the end of the crop cycle, together with the application of selective active substances with proved fungicidal action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the redundant application of the same fungicides has been conducted to the occurrence of resistant strains, hence, reviewing reported evidence of resistance occurrence and introducing unconventional treatments is worthy to pave the way towards the design of integrated disease management (IDM) programs. This work reviews aspects concerning chemical control, reduced sensitivity to fungicides, and additional control methods, including genomic resources for data mining, to cope with mycoparasites in the mushroom industry.

“…Woo et al (2004) reported that Trichoderma species possess the ability to grow well in acidic-neutral pH (5-7) conditions when provided with low nitrogen levels. Also, the mycelial growth of Trichoderma was found to exceed by 10 times that of mushroom when the infection was initiated as a result of high compost temperature (28°C) and favored by C/N ratio of around 22-23 (Gea et al, 2017).…”

Mushrooms are known for several nutritional and medicinal benefits and are cultivated worldwide. Several fungal contaminants of mushrooms have been serving as the major restraining factor in the growing mushroom industry for a long time. Fungal contaminants like Trichoderma spp., Mycogone spp., Lecanicillium spp., Cladobotryum spp., Coprinus spp., Sependonium spp., Sclerotium rolfsii, and Cephalothecum roseum among many, are found to infect mushroom crops at different stages from spawn run period to maturation of fruiting bodies. These contaminants may reduce yield and/or degrade the quality of fruiting bodies of the mushroom causing economic losses. These contaminants are usually peculiar in terms of their symptomatology on the substrates, disease cycle, epidemiological requirements, and yield losses. Most of these contaminants come from poorly sterilized substrates. Several sterilization techniques like steam sterilization, hot water sterilization, alkalinization, bleaching, and chemical sterilization can be employed to eliminate pre-existing contaminants and each technique has its own relative advantage over others. Besides, biological control involving botanicals and live antagonists can also be used as prophylactic sterilant or as therapeutic sprays. Biological control measures are friendly to the environment and human health. Unlike chemical fungicides (used as sterilant or spray), biological control measures don’t inhibit mushroom mycelial growth and even don’t raise the problem of pesticide resistance in pathogens. Roguing out of infected mushroom fruiting bodies or beds, mushroom house sanitation, and management of vector population are also equally important in preventing the spread of the fungal diseases of mushrooms.
