Abstract

Lentinula edodes has adapted itself well to the Brazilian climate and its cultivation techniques are accessible to small and large producers. As with any other crop, the shiitake faces insect and pest attack problems, both during the mycelia colonization period in the substrate and during the basidiocarp formation. There is no report up to now of the pests that may attack in the crop in Brazil. Consequently, this study was carried out as a preliminary survey of the insects associated with shiitake cultivation both in the growing substrate and in the fruiting bodies. The samples were taken from properties situated in Londrina (PR), Rolândia (PR) Nova Friburgo (RJ) Sorocaba (SP) and Viçosa (MG). As a result, insects from the orders Coleoptera (Bostrichidae, Staphilinidae and Dermestidae), Diptera (Calliphoridae), Himenoptera (Formicidae) and Lepidoptera (Stenomatidae), were found.
