| Abstract: | A survey of geophilic dermatophytes and related keratinophilic fungi isolated from city park soils of Pisa is reported. Twenty-three
(48%) soil samples out of 48 were positive by hair baiting. The following species were isolated: Microsporum gypseum (39%),
Trichophyton ajelloi (31%), Chrysosporium keratinophilum (14%), T. terrestre (8%), M. fulvum, Ch. luteum, Ch. indicum (5%
each) and M. cookei (2%). The presence of the different species is discussed in relation to the risk of fungal skin infections.
