Impact of trichoderma isolates on the mycelium development of wild strains of coprinus comatus (Müll.) S.F. Gray

Abstract

The impact of different isolates of three species of the Trichoderma genus on the development of wild strains of Coprinus comatus mycelium was investigated. Nine strains of C. comatus obtained from natural sites and one cultivated strain were used in the trail. The following Trichoderma isolates were used: T. aggressivum f. europaeum, T. longibrachiatum and T. atroviride. It was found that isolates of T. aggressivum f. europaeum reduced the development of the C. comatus mycelium to a much greater degree than isolates of T. longibrachiatum and T. atroviride.
