The objective of this study was to achieve biological control of green mold disease in Pyogo mushrooms using antagonistic microorganisms. Bacillus subtilis BSM320 cells inhibited mycelial growth by 48–60% against three Trichodermaisolates including T. hazianumisolated from the substrates of Lentinula edodes, showing their antifungal activity.The bacteria were cultured to a high density of 4.2 x 109±113.7 cfu/mlin aqueous extract of composted spent mushroom substrates of L. edodes containing 1% glucose and showed a higher growth rate than that observed when using the commercial medium, Luria-Bertani broth. The bacterial culture showed a 75% protective effect without damaging the mushroom fruiting bodies. These results suggest that B. subtilis BSM320culture is suitable for biological control of green mold disease during mushroom cultivation.

균상느타리버섯에서 발생하는 곰팡이 병해 중에서 가장많은 문제를 발생하는 것은 Trichoderma disease 또는green mould 등으로 불리우는 푸른곰팡이병이다.이 병은 Trichoderma, Penicillium, Aspergillus 등의 속(genus)에 포함되는 종들에 의해 발병되는 병을 총칭하는것으로 발생빈도와 피해가 가장 큰 것은 Trichoderma 속의 병원균에 의해 발생하였다. 느타리버섯 균상에 분리된 병원균은 T. longibrachiatum,T. koningii, Trichoderma virens, T atroviride, T. hazianum,T. pseudokoningii 6종이었으며, 발생빈도가 높은 것은 T.virens, T. hazianum, T. longibrachiatum 3종이었고, 각각의 균은 배양적 특성 및 병원성도 각기 다른 특성을 보이고 있었다.T. longibrachiatum 균사생장이 매우 빠르고, 포자형성이 빠르며, 특히 후막포자형성이 잘되는 특성을 있으며,후기에는 진한 녹색으로 변색된다. Trichoderma koningii는 균사생장은 빠르고, 공중균사가 많은 편이며, 포자는공중균사에 밀집되어 형성된다. 특히 Trichoderma virens같은 경우에는 포자형성에 의한 색깔변화가 느리며, 감염후기에 발견되어 그 피해가 심한 편이었다. Trichodermaatroviride. 균사생장은 보통이며, 포자형성은 공중균사에드믈게 형성되며, 후기에는 진녹색을 띤다. 이균의 특징은coconut 냄새와 유사한 향기가 나는 것이다. T. hazianum은 초기에는 균사가 백색으로 매우 빠르고, 공중균사에포자가 형성하며, 후기에는 진한 녹색으로 변색된다. 공중균사에 형성된 포자는 육안적으로 pustules or tufts의 형태를 나타내었다. Trichoderma pseudokoningii 균사생장은 빠르며, 포자형성은 접종부위를 중심으로 형성되며, 후기에는 환무니를 형성하며, 특히 배지 색이 변색되고 후막포자 잘 형성되는 특징이 있었다.

Green mold of Phellinus baumii caused by Penicillium was observed in Daegu on August, 2000. The causal fungus was identified as Penicillium citrinum based on their cultural and morphological characteristics. Conidiophores one-stage branched, terminating in a whorl of 3~5 metulae. Metulae mostly 5.2~7.8㎛. Phialides were flask-shaped, 5.7~7.5×2.2~2.7㎛. Conidia were subglobose, 1.8~2.3㎛ in size. Colonies on Czapek agar were mostly attaining a diameter of 23 ㎜ within 8 days at 25 . The optimum temperature for growth of the fungus was about 20~30℃. On the basis of mycological characteristics and pathogenecity test on host mushrooms, the fungus was identified as Penicillium citrinum. This is the first report on the green mold of Phellinus baumii caused by Penicillium citrinum in Korea. The present study was carried out to investigate the preventive effect of Penicillium citrinum by backfill (sand, granite soil, and smash rock). The result showed that the use of granite was 3~10% infection rate and sand was 2~10% infection of P. citrinum. However, the smash rocks showed no infection of this fungus. The chemical properties of smash rocks was pH 8.4, showing alkalinity. The sand and granite soil were pH 6.1 and pH 7.5, respectively. These did not have heavy metals such as Mn, Fe, Pb and As.

본 연구에서는 상황버섯 (P. baumii)의 자실체에 발생하는 Penicillium sp.균을 동정하기 위하여, 분리균의 배양적·형태적 특징을 조사하였다. 분리된 Penicillium sp.의 형태적 특성을 조사한 결과, 분생포자의 모양은 타원형이고 직경이 1.8∼2.3 ㎛ 크기로 분생포자를 많이 형성하였다. 분생포자경은 균사로부터 one-stage branch 모양을 형성하였고, matulae는 3∼5개로 길이가 5.2∼7.8 ㎛이며, phialide는 플라스크상이고 크기가 5.7∼7.5×2.2∼2.7 ㎛이였다. Czapek's agar 배지에서 생육시 25℃에서 8일간 균체가 23 ㎜ 생장하였다. PDA 배지 상에서 균총의 형태는 처음에는 조밀한 솜털모양의 백색을 띄었으며 차츰 기중균사가 형성되었고, 점차 회녹색으로 변하였다. 이상과 같은 형태 및 배양적 특징으로 이 균을 P. rubrum으로 동정하였다. 상황버섯 (P. baumii)에서 P. rubrum에 의한 병은 아직 국내에 보고된바 없어, P. rubrum에 의한 상황버섯 (P. baumii) 푸른곰팡이병을 최초로 보고한다.
