The fungus in hospital garbage has spread because of the bio-hazardous clinical waste specimens utilized in the diagnostic procedure. The current investigation's goal was to use the phenotypic approach to identify the fungal isolates collected from clinical wastes. On Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) medium, the fungal isolates were obtained by the direct plate technique. They were purified by single-spore separation by streaking after growing for 7–14 days at 28°C. A light microscope was used to evaluate the morphology of the fungal isolates, and various mediums were used to record the culture properties. More than sixty different fungus species were discovered, ranging from numerous genera, such as Aspergillus, Trichoderma, Rhizopus, Cladosporium, Candida, Oidiodendron, Fusarium, Curvularia, Oidiodendron, Aspergillus, Trichothecium, Mucor and Acinetobacter from several genera. They were also characterized at physico-chemical as well as at biochemical levels. According to these findings, a variety of fungus found in clinical wastes might pose a health danger to people if they haven't been rendered inactive before being released into the environment. These studies revealed that there may be a health concern associated with clinical wastes, and it was urged that they be managed carefully to limit the spread of infectious germs.
