Cobweb disease is a fungal that can cause serious damage to edible mushrooms worldwide. To investigate cobweb in Morchella sextelata Guizhou Province, China, we isolated and purified the pathogen responsible for disease. Through morphological molecular identification pathogenicity testing on infected M. sextelata, identified Cladobotryum mycophilum as of this region. This first known occurrence causing anywhere world. We then obtained genome C. BJWN07 using HiFi sequencing platform,...

Cladobotryum protrusum is one of the mycoparasites that cause cobweb disease on cultivated edible mushrooms. However, molecular mechanisms evolution and pathogenesis C. mushrooms are largely unknown. Here, we report a high-quality genome sequence using single-molecule, real-time sequencing platform PacBio perform comparative analysis with closely related fungi in family Hypocreaceae. The genome, first complete to be sequenced genus Cladobotryum, 39.09 Mb long, an N50 4.97 Mb, encoding 11,003...

Grifola frondosa is an economically important edible and medicinal mushroom usually produced on substrate consisting of sawdust supplemented with wheat bran. Cultivation G. crop straw (corn cob, corn straw, rice soybean straw) as a was optimized by using the D-optimum method simplex-lattice design, alternative substitute for in composition determined model. The results showed that there significant positive correlation existing between yield cob. growth cycle negatively correlated sawdust,...

The mycoparasitic fungus Hypomyces perniciosus causes wet bubble disease of mushrooms, particularly Agaricus bisporus. genome a highly virulent strain H. HP10 was sequenced and compared to three other fungi from the order Hypocreales that cause on A. is ~44 Mb, encodes 10,077 genes enriched with transposable elements up 25.3%. Phylogenetic analysis revealed closely related Cladobotryum protrusum diverged their common ancestor ~156.7 million years ago. has few secreted proteins C. Trichoderma...

Mycogone perniciosa causes wet bubble disease in Agaricus bisporus and various Agaricomycetes species. In a previous work, we identified 41 GH18 chitinase genes other pathogenicity-related the genome of M . Hp10. Chitinases are enzymes that degrade chitin, they have diverse functions nutrition, morphogenesis, pathogenesis. However, these important not been fully characterized, their remain unclear. Here, performed genome-wide analysis analyzed transcriptome profiles expression patterns...

Ewingella americana is a cosmopolitan bacterial pathogen that has been isolated from many hosts. Here, we sequenced high-quality genome of E. B6-1 Flammulina filiformis, an important cultivated mushroom, performed comparative genomic analysis with four other strains various origins, and tested the susceptibility to antibiotics. The size, predicted genes, GC (guanine-cytosine) content was 4.67 Mb, 4301, 53.80%, respectively. origin did not significantly affect phylogeny, but mobile genetic...

Brown blotch disease (BBD) caused by Pseudomonas tolaasii is one of the most devastating diseases Pleurotus spp. worldwide. Breeding for resistant strains effective method controlling BBD. To identify germplasm BBD management, 97 comprising 21 P. cf. floridanus, 20 ostreatus, and 56 pulmonarius were screened two different methods; namely, inoculation pathogen on mushroom pileus (IMP) spawned substrate (IMSS) under controlled conditions. Out screened, 22 pulmonarius, four floridanus...

Outbreaks of cobweb disease are becoming increasingly prevalent globally, severely affecting the quality and yield Agaricus bisporus. However, disease-resistant strains rare, little is known regarding biocontrol management disease. Here, we isolated a pathogen from severe outbreak on A. bisporus in China identified it as Cladobotryum mycophilum based morphological characteristics, rDNA sequences, pathogenicity tests. We then tested 30 for resistance by inoculating with C. evaluated activity...

Myxomycetes are an important component of terrestrial ecosystems, and in order to understand their diversity phylogenetic relationships, taxonomic issues need be addressed. In our 1985–2021 biodiversity investigations Shaanxi Province, Jilin the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Hubei Henan China, Diderma samples were observed on rotten leaves, branches, dead wood. The studied, based morphological features coupled with multigene analyses nSSU, EF-1α, COI sequence data, which revealed two new...

Abstract In this study, the color of dry fruiting bodies, fresh weight (FW): (DW) ratio, amino acids, and total phenolics, which are nutritional or commercial interest, were compared among different drying temperature treatments. The effect rehydration methods protection reagents on body color, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, browning inhibition rate evaluated. results showed that with hot air at 65℃ was quickest resulted in a better without compromising FW:DW ratio bodies. Furthermore,...
