A number of fungi was isolated from the seeds of Oroxylum indicum (L.) Vent. The mycoflora associated with the seeds of this tree has not been previously reported from Kumaun region of Indian Central Himalaya. During the course of the study, mycoflora such as Fusarium solaniAspergillus nigerAspergillus nidulens, Penicillium sp., Trichoderma harzianumAlternaria solaniAlternaria alternata, Curvolaria lunataStachybotryis chartarumAcremonium sp., Rhizoctonia solani,Chaetomium globosumCladosporium cladoporoides and Torula allii were isolated from the seeds.
