ABSTRACT: The study focused on the identification of fungi in the PLM Field and the PLM Justo Albert Auditorium. Gravitation method was used for air sampling of fungal specimens in the month of November for both areas of concern: the indoor and the outdoor fungal flora of the Justo Albert Auditorium. One-hour sampling per trial was done simultaneously at times 7-8, 8-9, 9-10 in the morning. Three trials. each having five replicates, were done per area. Plates were incubated at room temperature. Colony Forming Units (CFUs) were counted based on morphological characteristics (shape, color and structural pattern). Representatives from each colony type were identified.Six genera of fungi were identified, four of which were found as components of air in the auditorium and all six were found present at the field. In all, they present two classes (Ascomycetes and Zygomycetes) and five orders (Eurotiales, Dothideales, Leotiales, Pleosporales, and Mucorales). Aspergillus was the most abundant genus in the auditorium followed by Cladosporium. Among the isolated fungal forms, three genera (Aspergillus, Botrytis, and Rhizopus) were identified as allergenic. A statistically significant difference was obtained between the indoor and outsoor diversity of microfungal colony load (p<0.05).
