Lecanicillium muscarium is a hose fungus from the Cordycipitaceae family thatis widespread worldwide.

ecology

Lecanicillium muscarium is an insect infecting pathogen . The hosts become infected when they come in contact with the sticky spores . These germinate and invade the insect's body, where they consume the internal organs and ultimately lead to the death of the hosts.

Taxonomy

Lecanicillium muscarium is the accepted scientific name of the entomopathogenic (insect infesting) fungus that was previously widely known as Verticillium lecanii (Zimmerman) Viegas, but is now considered an anamorphic of a species of the Cordyceps genus within the Cordycipitaceae family. It appears that the primary isolates previously classified as V. lecanii could belong to the species L. attenuatum , L. lecanii , L. longisporum , L. muscarium or L. nodulosum . A more recent study of mitochondrial DNA by Kouvelis et al. (2004) on this name.

use

The primary isolates of Lecanicillium muscarium for horticulture and agriculture (GCRI 19-79) were first obtained by Hall (1982) at the Glasshouse Crops Research Institute (now part of the School of Life Sciences at the University of Warwick ). The isolate Ve6 (GCRI 19-79; IMI 268317; ARSEF 5128; CBS 102 071) is now marketed as 'Mycotal'. 'Mycotal' was first registered as a brand name in the UK and re-approved by the EU, particularly for the control of greenhouse moth scale insects ( Trialeurodes vaporariorum ) and fringed winged birds .

Other products, possibly based on these mushrooms, are available for use in cash crops , oilseeds , soybeans , ornamentals and vegetables .
