infestation of various insect and fungal pests .Insects belonging to the orders; Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera,
and Collembolla were encountered both at the larval and adult stages of life on the collected mushroom samples.

with a total number of 17species which were found at the adult stage of life; but the larva stage were found on
