What are the control methods for green mold disease in edible fungi

Green mold (Trichoderma) disease is a major enemy in edible fungus cultivation. It mainly germinates on fungus blocks that have not yet been colonized, on materials that have not been thoroughly sterilized, and on dead mushrooms that have not been removed, and it thrives in acidic and relatively humid environments. Its spores spread quickly through the air and multiply rapidly, and if not dealt with in time, the losses are severe. Once green colonies appear, the following 10 methods can be used for timely control and treatment. Below, the editor will introduce how to control green mold disease in edible fungi.

1. Lower the temperature and humidity of the mushroom house, increase ventilation, and cover the moldy areas with plant ash to prevent mold spores from flying up and spreading.

2. First fumigate the room with a 3% Lysol solution or 3% formaldehyde solution, then clean the moldy areas with a 1% potassium permanganate solution.

3. Sprinkle potassium permanganate granules on the moldy areas, then spray water around the outer edges of the mold.

4. Take 9 parts quicklime, 1 part carbendazim, and an appropriate amount of water, and pour and brush the mixture onto the moldy areas.

5. Soak the mold with 5% limewater, and after the mold disappears, drain off the limewater and add fresh material.

6. Use a 1:200 dilution of kemeiling solution to inject the green mold inside the bags or brush the green mold on the bed surface.

7. Spray a 1:800 dilution of benomyl solution on the moldy areas of the bags or beds.

8. Brush the moldy areas with 95% alcohol or kerosene, set them on fire to burn them off, then dig them out and fill in fresh material.

9. Spray the moldy areas with a 3% Lysol solution, wash and wipe the tools, then dig out the mold. Each time you dig, wash and wipe the tools once. After digging out, fill in with growing material and spawn. This method can completely cure late-stage mold.

10. When cultivating with raw materials, add 100 grams of Sanwangpai kemeiling per 100 kilograms of material to completely control and eradicate mold breeding.
