Abstract
Mushroom bacilliform virus is unique among mycoviruses of the higher fungi in having a genome of positive-sense single-stranded RNA. We have identified a subgenomic mRNA molecule encoding the viral capsid protein in mushroom bacilliform virus-infected mycelium of Agaricus bisporus. Transcription of subgenomic RNA commences at the sequence ACAAAA, 47 nucleotides upstream of the initiating AUG.
