Abstract

Two speciesof  Stachybotrys are isolated which are S. chartarum and S. echinata.  It was observed thatS. chartarumwas more frequency than other fungi on wheat straw medium and reached to  82.5%.

AlsoStachybotrys is growing  on materials which  rich in cellulose such as straw medium.Stachybotrys  preferred  to grow on the gypsum powder and  reaches to 78.8% in  these materials and  components which  supporting  fungal growth.

HPLC results show that retention time or major peak of standard verrucarol toxin are located at 5.6 minutes from 4.5-6.5which identifies with toxin verrucarol produced from a filter extract of S. chartarum in the same area.
