Microbial succession in casing layer shapes bacterial blotch disease associated communities in cultivated white button mushroom: From casing layer to disease

Sameerika Dissanayaka Mudiyanselage, Romina O. Gazis, Samuel J. Martins

This study investigates microbial succession in casing layers of white button mushrooms and links it to bacterial blotch disease, showing community restructuring and functional shifts rather than a single pathogen cause.
