Mushrooms have been used by humans for millennia. The commonly cultivated mushrooms include Agaricus, Lentinus, Flammulina, Pleurotusand Volvariella. In India, Button mushroom (Agaricusbisporus)is the most followed Pleurotus(Shah et al., 2013). Mushrooms are mainly subjected to bacterial, fungal and viral diseases. production of fruiting bod...

Effect of different potting media on growth of rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri L.) rootstock was studied. Freshly harvested seeds of rough lemon were germinated in flat trays of sterilized sand under greenhouse conditions. Six week old seedlings, uniform in size were transplanted from trays to pots (15x15 cm). Leaf manure, peat, spent compost of oyster and button mushroom were added in different c...

The internal stipe necrosis of cultivated mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) is caused by the bacterium Ewingella americana, a species of the Enterobacteriaceae. Recently, Ewingella americana was isolated from cultivated white button mushrooms in Korea evidencing symptoms of internal stipe browning. Its symptoms are visible only at harvest, and appear as a variable browning reaction in the center of...

The most com monly cultivated basidiomycetes worldwide and in Serbia are button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus), oyster mushroom (Pleurotus sp.) and shiitake (Lentinus edodes). Production of their fruiting bodies is severely afflict ed by fungal, bacterial, and viral pathogens that are able to cause diseases which affect yield and quality. Major A. bisporus fungal pathogens include Mycogone pernic...

in this paper we report an eco-friendly route for the synthesis of sliver nanoparticles using agaricus bisporus (white button mushroom) extract. the synthesized silver nanoparticles were confirmed and characterized by uv-visible spectrum of the aqueous solution containing silver ions showed a peak at 420 nm corresponding to the surface plasmon absorbance of silver nanoparticles. transmission el...
