ABSTRACT
Sixty-four species in addition to one variety representing 31 genera of terrestrial fungi were recovered from surface water and submerged mud collected monthly (12 months) from five successive water sites exposed to the industrial effluents of Kima factory for fertilizers at Aswan. The monitored physico-chemical characteristics varied depending upon the site and time of sampling. There are variations in diversity and abundance of isolated fungi depending upon the employed nutritive media (glucose or cellulose), tested sample (water or mud), site and the time of sampling. The poorest samples in fungi were generally those collected during higher temperature months and from sites exposed directly to the industrial effluents. Aspergillus and Trichoderma were the most prevalent genera.
