    <abstract language="eng">Observation of airborne fungal flora was carried out at poultry farm situated in Bilaspur (C.G.) India. The culture plate method was used to determine air borne fungi from poultry farm during the period of Feb. 2009 to May 2009. Fungal spores recorded were representatives of the three major groups i.e. Zygomycotina, Anamorphic fungi and Mycelia sterilia. A total of 19 fungi were isolated from air of poultry farm. In summer season, maximum percentage contribution observed for Cladosporium sphaerospermum was (17.01%) followed by Aspergillus niger (15.4%), Alternaria alternata (8.04%), Aspergillus flavus (7.21%), Aspergillus nidulans, (5.67%), While minimum (0.51%) percentage contribution was observed for Aspergillus ochraceus. The maximum fungal species belonged to anamorphic fungi. In air total 388 fungal colonies represented 19 fungal species were observed during the present investigation period. Out of 19 fungal species, 02 from Zygomycotina, 15 from anamorphic fungi and 02 from Mycelia sterilia were observed. Cladosporium sphaerospermum showed the maximum percentage contribution of total aero-mycoflora. The results provide to be helpful to allergologist and clinician in treatment of fungal related disease.</abstract>
