abstract = "The study was conducted to isolate and identify the rhizosphere fungi and AM spores from the soil samples of Murraya koenigii (Curry patta) growing in three different sites of Hamirpur Distt of Himachal Pradesh. For the isolation of Rhizosphere fungi Dilute Plate Method was followed. Isolation and identification of AM spores was done by using Schenck and Perez (1990), manual. Investigations on rhizosphere fungi and VAM spores isolated from the root adhering soil samples of curry patta revealed the presence of thirty species of fungi and seven species of VAM fungi belonging to three genera were present. A comparision of seasonal distribution of these fungal associates revealed that twenty species  belonging to 16 fungal genera (Alternaria, Aspergillus, Chaetomium, Coniothyrium, Curvularia, Emericella, Fusarium, Gliocladium, Mortierella, Mucor, Penicillium, Phoma, Pythium, Rhizoctonia, Rhizopus and Trichoderma) were reported in rainy season and eleven species of fungi belonging to seven genera (Aspergillus, Cunninghmella, Fusarium, Mortierella, Penicillium, Rhizoctonia and Trichoderma) were recorded in spring season. Eight species belonging to six genera (Alternaria, Aspergillus, Baratalinia, Coniothyrium, Chaetomium, and Trichoderma) were recorded in summer season and seven species of fungi belonging to four genera (Aspergillus, Gliocladium, Mortierella and Penicillium) were recorded in winter. The VAM fungi include three genera Acaulospora, Gigaspora and Glomus. Acaulospora was the dominant genus represented by four species (i.e. A. delicata, A.foveata,A. mellae and A. spinosa).  The genus Glomus was represented by two species (i.e. Glomus geosporum and Glomus macrocarpum). The genus Gigaspora was represented by a single species (i.e. Gigaspora calospora). The results showed the association of rhizosphere as well as VAM (Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza) fungi in Murraya koenigii.",
