The changes of fungal growth in laboratory experiments (estimation of mycelial biomass and colony diameter) were studied by cultivation of 10 species of soil fungi on media with different concentrations of the herbicides Basagran, Labuctril 25 and Oxytril CM. The subject fungi responded to increased concentrations of herbicide in different ways. Cladosporium herbarum (colony diameter) and Penicillium janthinellum (mycelial biomass) were the only investigations to show a similar response to all the herbicides. Penicillium janthinellum (mycelial biomass) was the only example of a significant stimulation of fungal growth. Changes in colony pigmentation and sporulation were also recorded.
