Agaricus blazei Murill is a important medicinal mushroom for a powerful immune system builder and tonic. Currently, it is known about a new disease phenomenon that appears to be occurring on a number of mushroom farms. We described a straightforward approach in which molecular methods was used to survey the presence of potentially endo- and epiphytic bacteria infected with the Agaricus blazei. The 16S rDNA was amplified with universal eubacterial primers directly from pure cultures of Agaricus blazei mycelium and fruit body. The 16S rDNA sequences were almost identical (96 to 97% similarity), and phylogenetic analysis placed them in a single unique rRNA branch belong to the uncultural bacterium phylogroup. PCR detection of uncultural bacterium in the malformed tissues of Agaricus blazei were carried out by using 16S rRNA sequenced specific probe. It was strongly amplified at the malformed pileus region of fruit body and also spore print was impossible.
