1. Disease Spot Type: Speckle Disease falls under with the main disease type, white hairy spawns and brown spots usually appear on the surface of sporocarps. At the same time, brown spots emerge. Affected by them, the top caps of mushroom show atrophy, some individual caps become cracked while some feature rust spots.
For this kind of phenomenon, too high humidity in mushroom greenhouse and poor ventilation are probably the main reasons.
2. Misshapen mushrooms mainly feature their thin and long stipes, developed and robust root system, the external form shapes like coral in the sea.
For this kind of phenomenon, oxygen lack and poor ventilation are probably the main reasons.
3. Spindling Type: The surface layer of myceliums grows a large number of clumps of aerial strains, which result in the spindling status.
For this kind of phenomenon, too high humidity probably mainly affects the normal growth of mushroom.
For all mentioned types, mushroom farmers could adopt the following measures to prevent the occurrence of mushroom diseases.
Firstly, be sure to avoid excessive water-spraying during the cultivation period, then moderately control the humidity in greenhouses and ventilation should be strengthened under the condition of too high humidity. What’s more, you also have to pay attention to the purification, renovation on strains and the sterilization on all carriers.
In addition, for some Oyster mushrooms that are infected by acarid (Red mite), the main features gather in myceliums and sporocasprs of Oyster mushroom. Some Individual caps, lamellas may be also involved in, causing many yellow concave spots on the surface of Oyster mushroom, affecting the quality and appearance of Oyster mushroom.
What’s more, during the production process of Oyster mushroom, maggots meaning do harm on mushrooms are common to see in all parts of Oyster mushroom.
Control method: No matter on Red Mite or Maggot, it is both feasible spray the solution mixed with 1.8%, 400-600 times of Isocarbophos-fenpropathrin 25 EC.
