Characterization of Species of Cladobotryum Which Cause Cobweb Disease in Edible Mushrooms Grown in Korea

This research investigated fungal diseases affecting commercially grown mushrooms in Korea. Scientists studied two species of fungi that cause cobweb disease, which can severely damage mushroom crops and lead to economic losses. The study revealed how these fungi grow and spread between different types of mushrooms, which is crucial information for mushroom farmers. Impacts on everyday life: • Helps protect the commercial mushroom industry and maintain stable supply of mushrooms to consumers • Provides knowledge to improve disease control methods in mushroom farming • Contributes to food security by helping prevent crop losses • Supports sustainable agricultural practices through better understanding of plant diseases
