The prochloraz-manganese, fungicide routinarily used to control the verticillium disease or "dry bubble" of the white mushroom commercial cultures, produced by the fungus Hyphomycete Verticillium fungicola, in the presence of the LD50 calculated for the pathogen, partially inhibits the protein synthesis of its cell walls, while at the same time, restructuring certain neutral polysaccharides of the same human nutrition, treated with its corresponding LD50 of prochloraz-manganese also partially modifies its vegetative mycelial cell walls with regard to the proteins and determined polysaccharides. However the aggregated mycelial cell walls of the A. bisporus fruit bodies using the cited LD50 or the LD50 x 1000 of the same fungicide, restructure their major components in a rather distinct way according to the amounts employed. The progressive effect of the prochloraz-manganese is also evidenced by the partial inhibition of the industrial production of white mushrooms and the slight modifications of the surface morphology of the fruit bodies.
