Virus-like Particles in a Weed Mould growing on Mushroom Trays

Nature volume 216, pages 595–596 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

DURING investigations of virus diseases of the cultivated mushroom, Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Sing., samples were collected of a species of Plicaria which is probably similar to Plicaria fulva described by Schneider1 [synonym Peziza atrovinosa Cooke and Gerard]. This fungus is considered to be the perfect stage of Botrytis crystallina (Bon.) Sacc.2, the brown mould. Apothecia of P. fulva, collected from various mushroom farms, were tested for the presence of virus particles to investigate the possible role of this weed mould in the spread of viruses of cultivated mushrooms.
