%X <span>Ferrocyanides of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) were synthesized and characterized by IR spectra, magnetic susceptibility, thermal gravimetric analysis, elemental analysis and X ray diffraction studies. Antimicrobial potential of these complexes have been evaluated. Antifungal screening of these complexes has been carried out against <i>Mycogone perniciosa</i> and <i>Verticillium fungicola</i> causing wet and dry bubble diseases of button mushroom respectively. Nickel ferrocyanide has been found to be most effective against <i>Mycogone perniciosa</i> with 60% inhibitory effect while<i> </i>cadmium ferrocyanide has exhibited significant potential of 85% against <i>Verticillium fungicola</i>.</span>
