Verticillium fungicola var. fungicola (Preuss) is the most important dry bubble disease causing pathogen of the Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Imbach. Therefore, present investigation carried out on A. bisporus host and V. fungicola pathogen; by covering an aspect of interaction, variability and management of Verticillium dry bubble disease in India. Host and pathogen easily distinguishable at interaction regions on the basis of hyphal width i.e. ranged from 4.0 to 6.5 µm and 1.5 to 4.5 µm respectively. Pathogen grow inter and interacellularly on host hyphae and resulting in damaged, coiling and lysis of host mycelia. During enzymatic bioassay in dual culture on inducing substrate and mushroom extracts, mycopathogen showed the production of different hydrolytic enzymes i.e. amylase, cellulose and chitinase but not lipase and pectinase by formation of clear zonation on substrate.
