The present study deals with the isolation and distribution analysis of keratinophilic fungi of Gorakhpur region. Two sites were chosen: three cattle sheds and three waste soil of barbers’ shop. A total of thirty six samples were taken. Thirty samples out of thirty six examined were found positive for fungal presence. Two baits i.e. human and buffalo hair were used. The fungi grown were isolated and identified. Their percent frequency was determined and a comparative study was made. There is a marked difference in the nature, percent occurrence and distribution of fungi of the two sites. Total 378 occurrences of fungi were recorded. 229 fungal isolates were found in cattle shed soil, whereas in barbers shop soil the no was 149. Most dominant fungi were Aspergillus, Chrysosporium, Fusarium and Trichophyton.
