“…The data pertaining to T. putrescentiae population build up on M. perniciosa is presented in Most of the mites feed on wild fungus (contaminants in cultivated mushrooms) and help in dispersal of their spores (Price, 1976). Wild fungi act as competitive fungi in cultivated mushroom beds thus affecting the overall yield (Okabe, 1999).…”

“…Each treatment consisted of three Petri dishes with 25 mites. Mites were submitted to a 24-h fasting period prior to beginning the experiment, during which they were maintained with sterile distilled water (Price, 1976;Sánchez, 1992). Following a fasting period, mites were subjected to four washes in the following order 1) sterile distilled water, 2) 1% NaOCl, 3) sterile distilled water, 4) antibiotic (5% chloramphenicol).…”

“…Several pest mite species of gladiola, tulip, garlic and onion bulbs, narcissus and Madonna lily runners and rhizomes and potato tubers are associated with bacterial and fungal rot (Poe et al, 1979;Ascerno et al, 1983;Bonilla et al, 1990;Sánchez, 1992). Mites feed on plant tissue and fungi and there is evidence that fungal propagules remain viable after passing through the mite digestive tract (Price, 1976;Shew and Beute, 1976;Daneshvar et al, 1977).…”

We evaluated the viability of Sclerotium cepivorum Berk. (causal agent of of garlic and onion white rot) mycelial and sclerotial fragments transported through excreta of Rhizoglyphus robustus Nesbitt fed on S. cepivorum. Excreta were obtained from mites fed on 1) mature, hydrated and fragmented sclerotia (mhfS); 2) mature, dehydrated and fragmented sclerotia (mdhfS); 3) whole mature sclerotia (wmS); 4) mycelium (M) and 5) potato dextrose agar culture media (PDA). After feeding, mite excreta were examined under compound and scanning electron microscopes for the presence of mycelial and sclerotial fragments. S. cepivorum mycelium growth and sclerotia formation were observed in three out of 60 excreta pellets from mites fed on M and mhfS and only in one excreta pellet out of 60 from mites fed on mature, dehydrated and fragmented sclerotia (mdhfS). Numerous fragments of mycelia and sclerotia on the mites' bodies, mainly on the sense organs of the ambulacral appendages and the mouthparts were identified by compound and scanning electron microscope observations. R. robustus may also influence white rot epidemiology as a consumer of S. cepivorum and spread and/or transmit the pathogen by carrying fungal fragments on its body externally.

Tyrophagus putrescentiae Schrank (Acari: Acaridae), is one of the most serious pests of high protein food including mushrooms. It is known to feed and disperse various pathogenic fungi in stored grain and products. It causes economic losses in stored products in addition to allergic disorder in workers handling stored products. Understanding T. putrescentiae multiplication on Agaricus bisporus compost, fruiting bodies, its role in transmission of disease is of paramount importance for the standardization of control measures. Documentation of the population abundance and selection of best compost for white button mushroom farming would open up new scope for farmers. Considering the above facts, efforts have been made to assemble the available literature in this article.
