The soil samples were collected from different fields of Narmada District. Soil samples were collected in two different zones i.e. rhizoplane and rhizosphere. Then collected samples were inoculated on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) medium which was supplemented by suitable antibiotics such as Chloramphenicol by adopting soil dilution method and soil plate method. The present study was conducted to find out the fungal diversity in agricultural fields in Narmada. A total of 154 colonies were isolated. From this investigation, 14 species of fungi belongs to 6 different genera were isolated and identified whereas 23 strains left unknown. Identification and characterization of the soil
mycoflora were done with the help of authentic manuals of soil fungi.
