The influence of the fungicide benomyl on sporocarp development and yield of various commercial strains of the cultivated mushroom, Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Imbach, was investigated in disease-free cultural conditions. Horse manure compost and mineral casing soil were used for mushroom production. Benomyl, as a wettable powder formulation containing 50% active ingredient, was applied at the rate of 0.568 dm3of spray solution per 0.93 m2of tray surface. Concentrations of 0.45, 0.91, 1.36, and 4.54 kg per 3.8 hliters of spray were tested; application times and intervals varied. Treatment combinations included applications after casing, after mushrooms were initially harvested, and periodic applications for as long as 7 weeks after initial harvest. Benomyl 50% wp at 0.45 or 0.91 kg per 3.8 hliters in all combinations tested did not reduce yield of any strains evaluated. With strain 310 a consistent trend of yield increase was noted at the three dosages below 4.54 kg per 3.8 hliters in most experiments. A consistent yield decrease and delay of sporocarp initiation occurred with all strains except 324 at a dosage of 4.54 kg per 3.8 hliters.

Since the early 1990s, the epidemic of green mold on the cultivated mushroom Agaricus bisporus in North America has been caused by Trichoderma aggressivum f. aggressivum. The findings of earlier research suggested that the microevolutionary emergence of T. aggressivum f. aggressivum coincided with the onset of the epidemic. This hypothesis was tested further by determining the disease susceptibility of mushroom strains grown widely before the epidemic manifested. The results of complementary methods of analysis, which entailed a grain protection assay and cropping trials, established that two pre-epidemic strains were more susceptible to green mold than three post-epidemic strains being cultivated at the time of the epidemic. Thus, if T. aggressivum f. aggressivum had been present within cultivated mushrooms prior to the epidemic, it should have been detected. It still appears to be true that T. aggressivum f. aggressivum emerged during the 1990s in a manner that remains unclear.
