Parasites on P. Sub Patch
    #23380128 - 06/25/16 09:24 AM (7 years, 7 months ago)

Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster. I've been looking at a patch of subs growing in a nearby park, but the patch seems to be contaminated with bugs that hide in the gills and chew holes through the caps. They're very small and wriggly, and seem to bounce around if knocked free of the mushroom. Smaller mushies with the veil still attached don't have any bugs in them. The bugs are a couple of milimeters long at most, so I couldn't get any good photos, but I did manage a photo of the patch.

The affected caps have black discolouration, and often holes in the center of the cap. Does anyone know how I can possibly remove the bugs and improve the health of the patch?

(Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I wasn't sure if cultivation or contamination was more suitable.)

I am no expert.

I believe they are larvae from certain tiny flies that eat through the mushroom and cause it to start rotting (black) earlier than it should.

I just wanted to register my interest in whether there are any methods of preventing or combating the critters.

Or is this sub-forum for home cultivation only?

Dehydrate them lol. It's unfortunate but that's about the best thing you can do.
