The cost of preparation of selective media for the fungus is costly. The preparation of media with low cost supplements can be efficiently used for the growth of fungus thereby reducing the cost of media preparation. So, we have selected four different low cost, locally and naturally available materials like Tender Coconut Water (TCW), milk, whey and toddy were selected for the media preparation. Three different fungi i.e, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium species and Mucor species were tested.
