Abstract/Contents: | "Identification of the fungi responsible for causing fairy ring symptoms rests solely on basidocarp formation, which often does not occur. Samples from the soil and thatch layers of 4 bentgrass and 2 bermudagrass golf course putting greens exhibiting fairy ring symtpoms were collected. Several isolation techniques were evaluated, including the traditional soil block and soil sprinkle methods. A recently described method involving spore washing and the use of a lignin-benomyl-guaiacol selective media was also attempted. Toothpicks or other wooden substrates were also used as baits. Isolated mycelia were examined for the presence of clamp connections or identifiable asexual or sexual structures. Genomic DNA was extracted from putative basidomycetes, the ITS1 and ITS2 regions were sequenced,and the basidiomycete-specific primers 1f and 4b were also evaluated. No basidiomycetes were isolated from 5 of the 6 sampled soils, including one creeping bentgrass and one bermudagrass site where Lycoperdon perlatum puffballs were later associated with symptoms. A sterile white fungus with clamp connections was routinely isolated from one bermudagrass site with all of the methods attempted. The ITS 1f/4b primers selectively identified these isolates as basidiomycetes, and BLAST analysis of the region showed greatest homology to Marasmius oreades and other Marasmius species." |
