Fungal granulomas (Systemic mycoses) were caused by <em>Aspergillus sps</em> and diagnosed in Kadaknath chickens of 5-week age. Clinically, birds showed respiratory distress with illness, stunted growth and reduced body weight. The gross lesions included yellowish white nodules of varied sizes in lung, thoracic air sacs, proventriculus, liver and heart. Cultural examination on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) revealed fungal growth in the culture plates and staining with lactophenol cotton blue (LPCB) revealed the presence of <em>Aspergillus sps</em>., spores and hyphae.
