Abstract

In this study two species of Aspergillus (A. penicilloides & A. uvarum) belonging to family Trichocomaceae of filamentous fungi have been isolated from rhizosphere soil of potato crops of Chichawatni.  For isolation of fungi, culturing methods including direct plate method and dilution plate method on PDA medium have been used. After obtaining fungal cultures, species have been characterized, described, illustrated and identified on morphological basis. Morphological study included macroscopic and macroscopic characterization of fungal taxa which are presented here as new records for Pakistan. Light micrographs of microscopic details of these taxa have also been provided.
