Abstract
Microfungi were isolated from earthworm (Drawida assamensis) gut contents and freshly laid worm casts of a pineapple plantation field using Warcup’s soil plate method. A total of 17 species of microfungi were isolated, out of which 16 occurred in the anterior region, 12 in the middle region and 10 in the posterior region of the gut and 10 in the worm cast respectively. One species was restricted to posterior region of the gut and the worm cast. The digestion of microfungi in earthworm’s digestive tract occurred in a trend anterior>middle>posterior.
