Twenty-one strains isolated, cellulose decomposing fungi, were identified on the basis of morphological, physiological and biochemical properties as Acremonium sp., Asperaillus sp., Chaetomium sp., Chrysonillu sp., Doratomyces sp., Fusarium sp., Gliomastix sp., Penicillium sp., Trichoderma sp., Varicoaporium sp. and Verticillium sp.. The optimum tempeture for growth was in the range of 20-30¡É. Most of the isolated stains utilized all tested carbon sources, and scarcely utilized urea as a nitrogen source. Only the strain No.2 had high activity of cellulase.
