Abstract
Seven thermophilic fungi have been isolated from stacks of oil palm kernels in parts of the Western State of Nigeria. These include Humicola lanuginosa (GRIFFON and MAUBLANC) BUNCE, Mucor pusillus LINDT, Talaromyces emersonii STOLK, Chaetomium thermophile var coprophile COONEY and EMERSON, Chaetomium thermophile var. dissitum COONEY and EMERSON, Thermoascus aurantiacus MIEHE sensu APINIS, and Thermoascus crustaceus (APINIS and CHESTERS) STOLK. While the last four are new records for Nigeria, they, together with H. lanuginosa and M. pusillus, are also reported on palm kernels for the first time. All are shown to be strongly thermophilic.
