Fruit bodies (sporocarps) of wild mushrooms growing in natural environments play a substantial role in the preservation of microbial communities, for example, clinical and food-poisoning bacteria. However, the role of wild mushrooms as natural reservoirs of plant pathogenic bacteria remains almost entirely unknown. Furthermore, bacterial transmission from a mushroom species to agricultural plants has rarely been recorded in the literature.

Article Synopsis
  • In 2021, two harmful gram-negative bacterial strains were identified in garlic bulbs from Central Iran, causing decay and soft rot in various plants, including cactus, garlic, and mushrooms.
  • Phylogenetic studies classified these strains within a specific clade but revealed they also shared pathogenic traits with multiple historical pathovars, challenging the traditional understanding of their classifications.
  • The findings suggest that using phenotypic approaches to identify and classify bacterial strains is less effective than phylogenetic methods, indicating a need for reevaluation in how these bacteria are categorized.
