Abstract

  We observed an entomopathogenic fungus - Fusarium sporotrichiella Bilai, 1953 = Fusarium poae (Peck) Wollenw., 1913- on the adult form of the stinky bug - Halyomorpha halys Stål, 1855. It developed on the body of the pest in the form of a tall white mycelium. We inoculated the fungus onto a beer-agar medium. It begins to develop from the second day in the form of a white cotton-like mycelium. The fungus completes its growth and development on the 7th or 8th day after inoculation. During the formation of fruiting bodies, a yellowish-pinkish flake forms on the aerial mycelium.
