SUMMARY Symptoms are described of a new disease of mushrooms caused by Mortierella bainieri. Peeling of the stipe to give a shaggy appearance is one of the most characteristic symptoms. Similar symptoms were reproduced in an infection experiment. M. bainieri is less sensitive to benomyl than some of the other more common fungal pathogens of this crop.
