β¦ Synopsis
The frequency of occurrence of fungi in 120 claw samples of buffalo and cow from different localities at Assiut governorate was determined.
Thirty-seven species which belong to twenty genera were collected from the two substrates and the most common genera were Chrysosporiwn (eleven species of Chrysosporiwn were isolated), Aspergillus and Scopulariopsis. From the preceding genera Chrysosporiwn suljiureum was common on cow claws but C. merdarium was slightly dominant on buffalo claws than on cow claws.

and A. niger were dominant on buffalo claws, but Scopuluriopsis brevicaulis was prevalent on cow claws.
Also other dermatophytes were isolated such as Trichophyton terresire, T. rubrum, Histoplasma capsulatwn, Phialophora gougerotii and Microsponun distortwn.

Influence of pH on the occurrence of fungi in birds' nests
Cometabolic growth studies with phenol were undertaken to screen 32 strains of white and brown rot fungi. All the cultures studied grew well up to 4 mM of phenol on CZAPEKDOX agar except Agaricus bisporus (white button mushroom) and Pleurotus cystidiosus. Most of them could grow even up to 6mM of ph
