Peanuts are vulnerable to fungal infections during long term storage. Fungi infecting peanuts are toxigenic
and cause health hazards. The goal of this study was isolation and identification of fungi in peanuts
and use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to inhibit them. For this purpose firstly, we have isolated fungi
from infected peanuts and identified on the basis of morphological and molecular study. Out of the total
54 fungal isolates, 47 were found to be Aspergillus spp. and other belongs to Penicillium spp. and Macrophomina
phaseolina
