โฆ Synopsis
Using four medium types (glucose-, cellulose-, 50% sucrose-and I0 % NaCl-CZAPEK'S agar), it was possible to isolate 15 fungal genera, 78 species and 6 varieties. The collective fungal spectrum varied from one medium to another where the highest number of species (57 species/1000 seeds) was obtained on glucose-and the lowest (3 I species/1000 seeds) on 10 % NaCI-CZAPEK'S agar. Aspergillus, Penicilliuni and sometimes Rhizopus and Chaetomium were the most common genera on the different medium types. The most common fungal species especially on glucose-and CellUlOSe-CZAPEK'S agar were, Aspergillus niger, A . flaws, A . ochraceus, A. fumigatus. A . fravus var. colurnnaris, Penicillium chrysogenum, Rhizopus stolonifer and Chaetomium globosum. Members of A . ylaucus group were more frequently recovered on 10% NaCl-and 50% sucrose-CZAPEK'S agar.

From 40 peanut seed samples collected in Egypt, forty-three species and one variety of fungi, belonging to 16 genera, were collected. The most dominant genera were Aspergillus (11 species + one variety), Penicillium (11 species) and Fusarium (4 species). From the preceding genera A. fumigatus, A. fl
Sixty-four species and 2 varieties which belong to nineteen genera of fungi were identified from 40 peanut seed samples collected from different places in Egypt by using a dilution-plate method on glucose-Czapek's medium.

After four months in commercial storage, 100 soybean samples from different places of Egyptian Governorates were assayed for filamentous fungal growth at two incubation temperatures (28 and 45 "C). 73 species and 8 varieties belonging to 32 genera were isolated by the dilution plate method. At 28 "C
