Filamentous fungi are found in different habitats in the environment including, air, water and soil. This group of fungi contains organisms from different classes under the sub-phylum Pezizomycotina . They occur in mixtures such that you find many genera of filamentous fungi dominating a particular habitat or substrate. The wide distribution of filamentous fungi has resulted in it being used for different purposes. This review aims to analyse the different genera of fungi species referred to as filamentous fungi and their relevance economically and medically.
