Abstract

The biosynthesis process utilizing fungi and other microorganisms is an essential sustainable method for the manufacture of nanomaterials, aligning with sustainable development goals. Consequently, the extraction and accurate identification of fungi from soil is strongly advised. In this study, various fungus species were collected from different Sudanese agricultural soil at various locations. Afterwards, the fungi were extracted and identified. The fungi have been isolated were then identified to the genus level and to the species according to the basis of macro morphological. Thus, the colonies were investigated for slow or for rapid growth, also based on topography and texture. Interestingly, the identification methods used for fungi isolated displayed that various fungi have been successfully identified. Thus, based on the culture method, there are fungal species of 121 species with 100% were recognized. However, based on the microscopic investigation there are 102 species of fungal species were identified. However, based on the molecular method the identified fungi were found to be 90 of the fungal species isolated.
