The Role of Diseases and Pests in Increasing the Yield of Button Mushrooms, and a Few Words about Sanitation and Hygiene.

8 августа 2013

In this article I am not going to list and describe different kinds of diseases and pests of button mushrooms. I am not going to talk and explain what harm these diseases and pests can cause to production. Unfortunately, many mushroom producers know about this from their own experience.

The aim of this article is to show you my variant, my view of the solution of this problem. The variant, which is based not on the search of some magical tools for killing unwelcome guests on the shelves, but the variant resulting from an elaborate study of some life details of these diseases and pests.

pests and diseases

This picture shows one of green molds, species of Trichoderma.
Its difficult to say what species is in mater, because without of microscopically examination, is not possible to distinguish, what species of mold it is.

Anyhow, presence of Trichoderma, in compost can make great lost of mushroom production. Especially when is Trichoderma harzianum in mater.
