Which diseases are prone to occur in edible fungi in summer

1. Oyster mushroom brown rot: also known as brown spot disease. Its symptoms are that after onset the mushroom bodies turn yellow, rot and give off a foul odor. The cause is that the pathogen either lurks in the soil, or enters the substrate, or can also enter the mushroom shed with airflow, especially when the mycelium has insufficient nutrient supply, decreased resistance, combined with high humidity and poor ventilation.

2. Oyster mushroom soft rot: a bacterial disease, occurring under high humidity with severely poor ventilation.

3. Straw mushroom small sclerotium disease: this pathogen survives long-term in soil and organic matter, and can infect many crops, forest trees and fruit trees. It is especially severe when temperatures are high, humidity is high and ventilation is poor.

4. Shiitake mushroom log rot: the cause is infection by Trichoderma or Penicillium, leading to the occurrence of "stinking bags".

5. Wood ear mushroom "flowing ear" disease: a bacterial disease triggered by high temperature and high humidity.

6. Shaggy ink cap mushroom soft rot: caused by failure to adjust ventilation in time during the transition stage from low to high temperatures.
