Disease: Mycogone perniciosa infection

Antifungal Activity of Industrial Bacillus Strains against Mycogone perniciosa, the Causative Agent of Wet Bubble Disease in White Button Mushrooms

Researchers tested two special bacteria strains (Bacillus subtilis B-10 and M-22) to protect white button mushrooms from wet bubble disease, a serious fungal infection that can destroy entire crops. When applied to mushroom growing beds, both bacteria effectively prevented the disease-causing fungus from developing, with success rates between 50-99% depending on application method. This offers mushroom farmers a natural, chemical-free alternative to synthetic fungicides for protecting their crops.

Inhibitory Effects of Origanum vulgare Essential Oil on Mycogone perniciosa Growth in Agaricus bisporus Cultivation

A new study shows that oregano essential oil can effectively prevent and treat wet bubble disease in button mushrooms, a fungal infection that costs farmers millions in crop losses. The oil works better than conventional chemical fungicides and contains powerful antifungal compounds like carvacrol and thymol. When applied at the right time, oregano oil completely stopped the disease from developing while maintaining healthy mushroom yields. This natural solution could help organic mushroom farmers reduce their reliance on synthetic chemicals.
