Abstract: Soil is home of many micro-organisms including fungi. The type of fungal flora present in the soil depends on composition of soil. Human interference, industrialization, cultivation etc. has adverse effect on soil environment and thus influences soil microflora. The present paper deals with isolation and identification of soil fungi in Siltara industrial area phase – II, Raipur Chhattisgarh in winter season. The fungal population were isolated and identified as - Aspergillus terreus, Penicillium chrysogenum, Phialophora cinerescens, Penicillium expansum, Acrophialophora fusispora, Fusarium pallidoroseum, Penicillium sclerotiorum, Aspergillus niger, Alternaria alternata, and Aspergillus versicolor. The highest percentage frequency of Aspergillus terreus (100%) and highest percentage contribution (27.54%) of Aspergillus terreus was observed.
Keywords: Soil fungi, Siltara, Industrial area, winter season.
