Shailesh Sawant, Have a look through the previous posts in this topic. There are some particularly good references to protocols which you should find useful at http://www.researchgate.net/topic/Mycology_and_Phytopathology/post/Identification_of_fungus .

I think u better opt the molecular approach to identify the fungal strain.

Thank you Daniel Clark it is helpful for me

for a much accurate method you can try 16sRNA; genome extraction, pcr, purification

other than that biolog for FF = filamentous fungi could be useful

hope this helps

Ya thank you Sidek Ahmad

Send you r culture to National fungal identification facility funded by DST at Pune Agarkar Research Institue. You will have autheticity of identification.

Chemotaxonomy is another way to identify fungi.

Alternatively, you may try checking

or

for yeast identification. There tests are still used for identification of food and medical fungi, for instance api Stripes from bioMérieux.

Grow it on PDA, make some slides and get some fair idea about its salient morphological features. Depending on the genus, you can sequence ITS or secondary barcode gene markers.

Consult an expert, if you are overwhelmed by fungal identification!

Cheers,
