Airborne organisms and their spores, dust particles and pollen grains like micro substances are present in environment in the form of bioaerosols. Among all, most abundantly found bioparticles in air are fungal spores, on account of their dimensions in the form of bioaerosol. Hospitals are very prone to the fungal contaminations and are also contaminated with increasing numbers of severely ill patients. Primary health care (PHC) addresses most of the person’s health needs throughout their lifetime. In the present study, indoor and outdoor aero mycoflora of Primary health centre (PHC) Potiyakala, Durg city was carried out from March 2022 to February 2023. During the study total 57 fungal species from 25 genera were isolated using Gravity plate method containing potato dextrose agar (PDA) media. A majority of fungi found from division of Anamorphic fungi and division of Ascomycota. Seasonal variation and different environmental conditions play an important role for the occurrence and diversity of fungal spores. Identification of fungal spore done by morphological and microscopic feature from available literatures. The fungi with the highest occurrence and prevalence were Aspergillus species, Cladosporium species, Curvularia species, Fusarium species And, Acremonium species, Penicillium species, Mucor species with lowest occurrence. Other than that we found some mycelia sterilia.
