How to control soft rot of mushroom

Published: 2024-11-22 Author: mysheen
Last Updated: 2024/11/22, Soft rot is also known as dampness and spore mycosis. The disease is caused by Cercospora infection. Most of them are spread by air currents and splashed water droplets, and spores contaminating the soil can also lead to disease. If the soil is too wet and the temperature is too low, it is also prone to this disease. Most of the fungi occur on the surface of the mushroom bed, and the white cotton-like (also known as spider silk) hyphae first appear on the mushroom bed. If they are not treated in time, the hyphae spread rapidly and surround the buds of small mushrooms. At first, only a mass of white hyphae was seen, and later it became water-red. After the fruiting body was infected by it, the mushroom body became soft and inverted.

Prevention and control measures:

(1) do a good job in environmental cleanliness and timely removal, burning or deep burial of diseased mushrooms.

(2) strengthen the ventilation of mushroom room and reduce the relative humidity.

(3) spread a layer of lime powder in the affected area to inhibit the growth of bacteria.

(4) spraying 2%-5% formaldehyde aqueous solution (refers to the fungus is more sensitive to formaldehyde), formaldehyde is also harmful to mushrooms and hyphae, so be careful when using.
