| Abstract: | Summary The isolation of thermophilic fungi from peat is reported and their taxonomy is discussed.
Mucor pusillus was frequently found in peat.
Humicola was recorded for the first time as occurring in peat. The thermophilic strains were classified as H. insolens, H. stellatus, and H. lanuginosus respectively.
Paecilomyces commonly occur in peat. Up to now only thermotolerant Pacecilomyces were reported. Our thermophilic strains resemble Paecilomyces in appearance, but after detailed examination may belong to the related genera Talaromyces or also Thermoascus.Because of its wide temperature range Aspergillus fumigatus was very frequently isolated under thermophilic conditions.Part I.: see Küster, E., and R.
