TL;DR: Several mycoparasitic strains belonging to the filamentous fungal genus Trichoderma are promising candidates for the biological control of plant pathogenic fungi, but it is very important to consider the environmental parameters affecting the biocontrol agents in the soil.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the data available about the biosynthesis, biological activity and conformational properties of peptaibols and pepta-ibiotics described from Trichoderma species.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the evolutionary pathway of T. Pleuroticola could be in parallel to other saprotrophic and mycoparasitic species from the Harzianum clade and that this species poses the highest infection risk for mushroom farms, whereas T. pleurotum could be specialized for an ecological niche connected to components of Pleurotus substrata in cultivation.

TL;DR: The data document that the green mold disease of P. ostreatus in Hungary is due to the same Trichoderma species as in Korea and the worldwide distribution of the new species indicates the possibility of spreading epidemics; and the two species are specialized on their different substrates.
