During the cultivation of edible mushrooms, small fungi such as Trichoderma spp., Penicillium spp., Aspergillus spp., and slime molds infect substitute substrate cultivation. Under conditions suitable for their growth and reproduction, they can likewise infect segment logs. The morphological characteristics and occurrence patterns of these small fungi have been described for oyster mushrooms and button mushrooms. Because cultivation forms differ, the control methods also differ slightly: if small fungal infection is found on any part of the mushroom log, a kerosene blowtorch can be aimed at the pathogen to burn it to death, and then the infected area should be coated with a layer of 5%-10% limewater or
