ABSTRACT
The number of air borne fungi depends on the environmental conditions such as- sources, light intensity, time of day, humidity, geographical location and season. A survey of extramural or outdoor aeromycoflora of Banjari Temple, Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University campus, Raipur (Chhattisgarh) India, was carried out during rainy season from July 2015 to October 2015. For this study gravity petri plate method was used for the isolation of aeromycoflora at monthly intervals. The aim of present study was to evaluate the aeromycoflora of outdoor environment of Banjari Temple, Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University campus, Raipur (Chhattisgarh) India. During investigation period total 138 fungal colonies were isolated representing 16 fungal types and 10 genera. Cladosporium cladosporioides dominated the aeromycoflora followed by Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Mycelia sterilia (White), Trichoderma sp.
