Ciidae: newly recognized beetle pests of commercial dried mushrooms.

One hundred and sixty-seven samples representing 8 species of packaged dried mushrooms were collected from 29 markets in the downtown area of Los Angeles, California. Ciids, representing 3 species (Cis asiaticus on Lentinus polychrous, C. chinensis on Ganoderma lucidum and Orthocis auriculariae on Auricularia spp.), were found in 6 samples. One of these samples had been stored by the collector for about 8 months before huge numbers of live ciid adults and larvae were noticed in the package. This finding represents direct evidence of postharvest development and thereby establishes stored product pest status for the family. No previous literature exists on ciids as pests of commercial stored dried mushrooms.
