SUMMARYTwenty-one species of thermophilic and thermotolerant fungi were tested for the ability to degrade cellulose and lignocellulose. Thielavia thermophila is newly described as cellulolytic. Only Chrysosporium pruinosum and Sporotrichum pulverulentum were found to degrade lignocellulose extensively. In a number of cases the moisture content of the solid substrate influenced degradation by the species tested.
