The growth rate of the mycelium, sporulation, and colony characters of 29 fungal endophytes from four different Terminalia spp. grown on five different media were observed after the incubation period of 6days. The texture, margin, culture characteristics, front colouraton, reverse colouration, sporulation was affected by the type of nutrient medium used. Sabouraud dextrose agar medium showed comparatively precise growth in 23 fungal endophytes whereas 7 fungal endophytes exhibited heavy sporulation on this medium. Aspergillus sp., Penicilium sp., and Nectria sp. expressed highest growth in sabouraud dextrose agar media and potato dextrose agar media while Fusarium sp., Trichoderma sp., Colleotrichum sp. exhibited highest growth in Potato dextrose agar media and Czapek dox agar media. The result of our study will be effective for advance mycological research.
