MVX syndrome and Phase III compost
Mushroom Virus X (MVX) Syndrome is a destructive viral disease complex which was first reported on a farm in Britain in 1996 (Gaze et al 2000), although similar symptoms had been observed up to five years earlier (Burton et al 2011). MVX comprises a complex of up to 18 virus particles most of which are benign. However, two virus particles, AbV6 and AbV16, are associated with the critical symptoms of patch and cap browning respectively (Grogan 2023).
