Identification and characterization was done by the help of standard protocols. All total 16 nos. of fungal species have observed during the studies. The Aspergillus shows as the dominant mycoflora in both the location. Four species have found in Aspergillus group i.e. A. niger, A. fumigatus, A. variecolor and A. clavatus.
