1. Symptoms: When the disease occurs, white mycelium appears on the mushroom bed and spreads rapidly. If not controlled in time, it can spread to the entire mushroom bed. Under conditions of high humidity, it can completely "devour" the fruiting bodies, leaving only a mass of white mycelium visible; in the later stage, the white mycelium turns pinkish-red. 2. Occurrence characteristics: The soft rot pathogen is widely present in soil, forms colonies on the casing soil or the surface of the mushroom bodies, and produces spores within a short period. These spores spread through airflow, water droplets splashed during watering, and juices exuded from the mushroom bodies. It is prone to occur when the casing soil is too wet and the

2. Occurrence characteristics: The soft rot pathogen is widely present in soil, forms colonies on the casing soil or the surface of the mushroom bodies, and produces spores within a short period. These spores spread through airflow, water droplets splashed during watering, and juices exuded from the mushroom bodies. This disease is prone to occur when the casing soil is too wet and the temperature is low. This disease often occurs in small areas in mushroom houses and rarely becomes a large-scale epidemic.

3. Control methods:

1. Casing soil disinfection.

2. When the disease occurs in a localized area, reduce the frequency of watering on the mushroom bed, increase ventilation in the mushroom house, and lower the humidity. Spray the affected areas with a 2%%-5%% formaldehyde solution or a 500-fold dilution of thiophanate-methyl, or scatter quicklime powder for control.
