I had worked following methods to isolate fungi

Single spore isolation
Direct isolation
Serial dilution

Is there any methods other than this? Please suggest a good articles regarding these methods.

The only thinks that can propose - please try to find Prof. J. Zak from Texas USA manuscripts or get in contact with him
