The most commonly cultivated mushroom species is the Agaricus bisporus Lange (Imb). One of the major pathogenic diseases of the cultivated mushroom in Serbia is Mycogone perniciosa (Mang.). Biological control systems are not much used in mushroom cultivation. Medicinal and aromatic plants have been placed in the focus of intense studies. Pure culture of the Mycogone perniciosa was isolated from infected Agaricus bisporus. The essential oil of Hyssopus officinalis L. is used as a potential antifungal agent. The most abundant components in oil are isopinocamphone (43.29%), pinocamphone (16.79%) and b-pinene (16.31%). Antifungal activity of Hyssop was investigated by modified microatmosphere method. The minimal inhibitory quality was 5 microL/mL and a minimal fungicidal quantity was 15-20 microL/mL. There is no report on the use of Hyssop essential oil in mushroom disease.
