Abstract

Wet bubble is a major disease in Agaricus bisporus. The symptoms, microscopic examination and pathogenicity tests of the fungus validate the pathogen as Hypomyces  perniciosus. The nucleotide sequence comparisons of 5.8S rRNA gene of the pathogen using BLAST, National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), USA databases showed distinct molecular identities (90-91 %) with other mushroom pathogen and have been assigned new Gen accession number EU 380317.
