First Report of Cobweb Disease in Auricularia cornea var. Li. Caused by Hypomyces mycophilus in China

Auricularia cornea var. Li. is a natural mutation strain of A. cornea which has been preferred by consumers for its white colour, good taste and pharmacological properties (Rebecca et al. 2020). In October 2021, a disease with symptoms similar to that of cobweb disease (Carrasco et al. 2017) was obs...

520 |a Auricularia cornea var. Li. is a natural mutation strain of A. cornea which has been preferred by consumers for its white colour, good taste and pharmacological properties (Rebecca et al. 2020). In October 2021, a disease with symptoms similar to that of cobweb disease (Carrasco et al. 2017) was observed in A. cornea var. Li. in four mushroom farms in Fangshan District (115.83°E, 39.55°N), Beijing, China, infecting 20% of the fruiting bodies (Fig. 1A-D). White cottony mycelia formed typically on the casing soil and they gradually spread to the stipes and pileus, covering the whole fruiting body, which eventually died and lost commodity value. Cultures were obtained by aseptically transferring the diseased fruiting bodies onto potato dextrose agar (PDA); they were deposited in the culture collection (ID: JZBQA3) of the Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences, China. The colonies were floccose with aerial mycelium white. Purplish grey diffusing pigments occasionally formed on the reverse side of the plate at 25 °C (Fig. 2A-B). Conidiophores arising in aerial mycelium, indefinite in length, branches septate, each cell producing denticulate conidiogenous loci, each denticle bearing a single conidium. Conidia mostly oblong to ellipsoidal, smooth, (9.0-)9.9-17.0(-18.0)×(6.0-)6.9-10.2 μm (n = 60), 0~1 septate (Fig. 2C-E). Chlamydospores forming as lateral branches of hyphae were commonly observed, globose, ellipsoid or oblong, 14.8-22×14.7-19.6 μm, l/w = 1.0-1.3 (Fig. 2F-G). The morphological characteristics were consistent with that of Hypomyces mycophilus, whose anamorph was Cladobotryum polypori (Rogerson et al. 1993, Zeng et al. 2017). For further species identification, genomic DNA was extracted using the DNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen, USA). The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions and large subunit ribosomal RNA (LSU) genes were amplified using the primer pairs ITS1/ITS4 (White et al. 1990) and LROR/LR5 (Bhattacharya et al. 2000), respectively. The sequences were deposited in GenBank with accession numbers OP430530 and OP430531. BLAST nucleotide searches showed more than 99% homology with corresponding sequences of Hypomyces mycophilus HMAS 275554 and CBS 175.56. Phylogenetic trees based on ITS and LSU revealed that the strain JZBQA3 was grouped with H. mycophilus with high support value (Fig. 3). A in vivo pathogenicity test was performed using eight mushroom sticks with healthy fruiting bodies in triplicate. Each four sticks were sprayed with conidial suspension (108 spores/mL) of strain JZBQA3 or sterile distilled water, respectively, and maintained in an artificial climate chamber at 25-26°C. Cobweb-like characteristics were observed on the fruiting bodies treated with the JZBQA3 conidial suspension 2-3 days after inoculation, while those treated with sterile distilled water remained symptomless (Fig. 4 A-B). The same pathogen was re-isolated and confirmed from the infected fruiting bodies by integrated analysis of morphological characteristics and gene sequencing data, fulfilling Koch's postulates. Hypomyces mycophilus was first reported on Trametes versicolor in North Carolina (Rogerson et al. 1993), and is the causal agent of cobweb diseases on Auricularia heimuer (Zhang et al. 2023). To our knowledge, this is the first report of cobweb disease caused by H. mycophilus in A. cornea var. Li. This finding is a valuable contribution to the knowledge of cobweb disease development in edible fungi
