Abstract

With the increase in population and limited food resources, changes in food sources for human is a necessary project. Different species of mushrooms are grown on different subsrates in different regions of the workd for human consumption.   Among all, Agaricus bisoporus has the largest cultivation. The yield and marketability of mushrooms are related to abiotic factors such as humidity and light and biotic factors namely fungi, bacteria, nematodes and viruses and insects and mites, directly or indirectly. Due to the presence of nematodes in different types of composts and difficulty of their control, infestation with nematode has caused the greatest decrease in mushroom cultivation yield and this damage has been reported up to 84.4% in some cases. Since in Iran, there has been no research about the mushroom cultivation beds contamination with nematodes, several samplings were carried out during 2023 in East Azarbaijan province. After nematode extraction, killing and fixation using ordinary methods in nematology and the identification based on different valid references, it was found that nematodes were present in most of these beds. In this text Diploscapter cronatus, Stomachorhabditis fastidiosa and Panagrolaimus concolor are reported and described. This is the first report of the genus Stomachorhabditis for the nematode fauna of Iran but two other species have been previously reported from Iran.
