Abstract
Isolation of amoebae from the surface and internal tissues of edible mushrooms was investigated. Samples tested over a 3-year period included mushrooms cultivated from six geographic localities. Of 168 mushroom surfaces tested, 161 (96%) yielded amoebae. Of 166 samples of internal stalk and cap tissues tested, only 1 yielded amoebae.
