China News Service, Kunming, March 7 (Chen Chen) The reporter learned from the Kunming Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on the 7th that Yang Zhuliang's research team of the institute found out the "family background" of a large number of edible fungi pathogenic fungi and captured the morel fungal disease. The "real culprit" provides background information and scientific guidance for future edible fungus disease prevention and control.

Pathogenic fungi are the main pathogenic microorganisms of bulk edible fungi such as Agaricus bisporus, Pleurotus ostreatus, Enoki mushrooms and fungus. They have attracted widespread attention from colleagues at home and abroad. However, relevant reports are relatively "scattered", and some of them are called "Zhangguanlidai", especially morels, etc. Some of the new favorite pathogenic fungi in the edible fungi industry are even more unclear about their origins and misidentified.
Taking artificially cultivated morels as an example, Yang Zhuliang's team conducted a comprehensive study on the species diversity of pathogenic fungi of cultivated edible (medicinal) fungi, and sorted out 6 phyla, 12 classes, 20 orders, 40 families, and 58 genera of pathogenic fungi reported at home and abroad over the past 40 years. 133 species; 1 new family (Morchellaceae), 1 new genus (Morchella), and 1 new species (Morchella) of the order Hypocartes were identified, and the first report on Morchella 4 new pathogenic fungi: Cylindromyces alicantei, Chrysosporium parasitica, Pink Trichothecenea and Pink Trichothecenea; the composition of Pseudomonasaceae has been updated, and Paecilomyces-like genus has been abolished.
Relevant papers were recently published in Fungal Diversity, a professional journal in the field of mycology.
