description A range of basidiomycetes including the edible mushroom <i>Pleurotus ostreatus</i> (<i>Po</i>) can suppress plant pathogens such as <i>Fusarium</i> spp. With the current increase in production and consumption of <i>Po</i> in Uganda, the spent <i>Po</i> substrate (SPoS) could be an alternative to manage Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB), caused by the soil borne pathogen <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> f. sp. <i>cubense,</i> race 1 (<i>Foc</i>).
