HERE has been a small amount of published information on the genetics of the heterothallic ascomycete causing root and fruit rot of cucurbits. In these publications the fungus has been referred to as Hypomyces solani f. cucurbitae. However, according to DINGLEY (1961), this organism belong to the species Nectria haenzatococca and should be called N . haematococca var. cucurbitae. Genetic knowle...

Root exudates play a significant role in influencing the rhizosphere microbes. Fungi are an important group of microbes that influenced by plant root exudates. As invasive alien species secretes several allelochemicals and impact soil microbes, this study compared fungal community one weeds Ageratina adenophora with native (Rubus ellipticus, Shorea robusta Imperata cylindrica) far-western Nepal...

Basidiocarps of species of Armillaria, Russula, Lactarius and  Agaricus with fungal infection were collected from different regions of Iran. Portions of infected carpophores, were taken and cultured on PDA, PCA and MEA. Fungicolous isolates were identified on the basis of morphological characters such as: color and shape of colony, morphology and branching of conidiophores, manner of proliferat...

Hypomyces aurantius is a mycoparasite that causes cobweb disease, a most serious disease of cultivated mushrooms. Intra-species identification is vital for disease control, however the lack of genomic data makes development of molecular markers challenging. Small size, high copy number, and high mutation rate of fungal mitochondrial genome makes it a good candidate for intra and inter species d...

Abstract Among Mesoamerican cultures, P’urhépecha settlers inhabiting Michoacán State in Central Mexico preserve ancestral tradition on mushrooms eating. Most mycological knowledge available for this ethnical group has been addressed the Pátzcuaro’s Lake zone, whereas communities other cultural and ecological relevant geographic areas remain unstudied. Thus, work describes ethnomycological of a...
