Metarhizium rileyi[6] is a species of entomopathogenic fungus in the family Clavicipitaceae. This species is known to infect Lepidoptera, including economically important insects in the Noctuoidea and Bombycoidea; there is an extensive (pre 2014) literature on this fungus under its synonym Nomuraea rileyi.

Importance[edit]

Insericulture, the term "green muscardine" has been used for fungal infections of silkworms caused by M. rileyi.[7]

M. rileyi has been considered as a potential mycoinsecticide for use against several noctuid insect pests.[8] BlastosporesofM. rileyi can be produced easily in liquid media: but conidia are preferred for practical field use. For laboratory purposes, these can be produced, expensively, on Sabouraud’s maltose agar supplemented with 1% yeast extract, but the use of grain substrates is preferred for mass production.[9]
