Abstract: An investigation was carried out on the growth of some fungi on laboratory formulated media using locally available grains that could be cheap and accessible. The growths of the fungi on Acha (Digitaria exilis), Maize (Zea mays), Rice (Oryza sativa), Guinea corn (Sorghum species) and Millet (Pennisetum glaucum) formulated media were compared with those on malt extract agar (MEA) and Potato dextrose agar (PDA).
