Obviously, because of the impressive biological activity of M. albus and its introduction into practical agriculture/ industry, it seems that the fungus should be more fully studied, relative to its location and role in nature. Overall, the most pressing question regarding M. albus is the mode of action of a multitude of volatile compounds and how they act synergistically to cause the death of microbes. Certainly, it seems that knowledge of its host preferences and those factors controlling host preference could eventually allow for the use and development of this organism for hosts that it does not naturally frequent and it could find still more applications and direct uses. This idea may be exemplified by the direct inoculation of plants, including those used in agricultural and forestry, for their protection against insects and diseases. In addition, it is extremely important to possess information on the distribution, life-cycle and other aspects of the chemistry of this organism.
