Colonial and Morphological Characteristics of Some Microfungal Species Isolated from Agricultural Soils in Eskişehir Province (Turkey)

Aspergillus crustosus Raper & Fennell, Eupenicillium egyptiacum (J.F.H.Beyma) Stolk & D.B.Scott, Paecilomyces ramosus Samson & H.C.Evans, and Penicillium novae-zeelandiae J.F.H.Beyma were examined for their colonial and morphological properties via visual, light and scanning electron microscopy. These species isolated from soil in different regions of Eskişehir are recorded for the first time in Turkey.
