Compost preparation was carried out at Department of Botany, Bangalore University Bangalore
during 2013 and 2014 by using Cabbage, tomato fresh cow dung and mixed vegetable waste. The experiments
were laid down in a completely replicated randomized block design with three replication for each treatment.
The qualitative and quantitative composition of individual vegetable composts (Tomato waste, Cabbage
waste and mixed vegetable waste) were used for the isolation. The fungi were isolated on Potato Dextrose
Agar (PDA) and at different temperature 50-55°C. Substantially qualitative differences in the species
composition of different vegetables composts were observed. A total of 11 entities were isolated 3 from
tomato waste compost, 2 from cabbage waste compost and 4 from mixed vegetable waste at 50°C and 3 at
55°C respectively. This report demonstrates that the qualitative and quantitative characterization of
individual composts and fungal communities essential for best industrial application
