Anti-fungal activities of leaf extracts of 26 angiospermic plants and two most popular chemical fungicides sporgon and bavistin were tested against the pathogenic fungi Mycogone perniciosa, Verticillium fungicola var. fungicola and Fusarium moniliforme causing wet bubble, dry bubble and wilt diseases, respectively in white button mushroom. Leaf extracts from the Aegle marmelos, Berberis aristata, Cannabis sativa, Cleome viscosa, Erigeron karvinskianus and Leonotis nepetaefolia were found effective against tested pathogenic fungi. Among them Erigeron karvinskianus was highly effective against all the three pathogens.
