Morphological characteristics and mycelial compatibility of different Mycogone perniciosa isolates.

ABSTRACT

The major disease of the cultivated mushroom Agaricus bisporus Lange (Imb) in Serbian mushroom farms is wet bubble caused by the fungus Mycogone perniciosa (Magnus) Delacr. In this study we report the morpho-physiological characteristics and inter-relationships between colonies of five isolates of M. perniciosa. The results suggest that mycelial compatibility could serve as an additional parameter for a more reliable determination of different pathotypes of M. perniciosa.
