Abstract
Mummy disease has been observed for a long time in the button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus farms in Korea, and severe mummy disease occurred on “Shinryung” mushroom, A. blazei recently. Typical symptoms of mummy disease were observed on the mushroom-cultivation beds infected ; tilted caps of mushrooms, browning and lignified internal tissue of stipe, overdevelopment of mycelium around the base of the stipe, and mummified mushrooms. Electron micrographs prepared from internal tissue of stripe of the diseased mushrooms showed that many bacterial cells present inside hyphal cells of the diseased mushroom, which is one of the characteristics of mummy disease reported previously, Survey in Buyo, Chungnam showed that mummy disease occurred at 55% and 83% frequency on bottom mushroom (brown strain) and “Shinryung” mushroom cultivation during year 2000. It indicates that mummy disease is one of the major diseases for the mushrooms cultivation.
