AB - In this investigation, the diversity of exopolysaccharide producing fungi of foot hills of Shivalik ranges of Chandigarh capital region have been studied. The study resulted in isolation of a total of 94 fungal isolates of which 52 isolates belonging to 17 different genera viz., <em>Agaricus</em>, <em>Alternaria</em>, <em>Aspergillus</em>, <em>Aureobasidium</em>, <em>Candida</em>, <em>Curvullaria</em>, <em>Chaetomium</em>, <em>Fusarium</em>, <em>Ganoderma</em>, <em>Penicillium</em>, <em>Pleurotus</em>, <em>Polyporous</em>, <em>Rhizopus</em>, <em>Saccharomyces</em>, <em>Stemophylium</em>, <em>Termitomyces</em>, and <em>Tricholoma </em>etc. were found to possess the EPS producing potential. These isolates have been categorized into five different groups on the basis of the EPS quantities they produced. These included Group I with production range of : > 1g/l ; Group II with production range of : 1-2 g/l ; Group III with production range of : 2-3 g/l ; Group IV with production range of : 3-4 g/l and Group V with production range of : 4-5 g/l. Out of these 52 EPS producing isolates, 11 were found to be the prominent producers with <em>Auerobasidium </em>RYLF 10 as the most potential isolate with EPS concentration of 4.60g/l followed by the species of <em>Penicillium </em>RYLF 35, <em>Aspergillus </em>RYLF 17 and <em>Ganoderma </em>RYMF 15. No correlation between EPS concentration and the biomass yield could be traced.<br />
