Abstract

Soils are excellent cultural media for the growth of many types of organisms. Microorganisms play an important function in biodegradation of solid agriculture waste and also help in the crop production. This includes bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa and viruses. Different soil samples were collected from agriculture soil, construction area, scrap area, pavement soil and college garden soil. The present work deals with the isolation of fungi from different soils. Isolation of fungi was carried out by culturing on potato dextrose agar media and Identification of fungi by lacto phenol cotton blue staining and microscopic method.
