The research method used was isolation fungus using a 10 −2 dilution technique, identification based on its macroscopic microscopic forms. Exploration results mahogany cocoa cover District, Bulukumba Regency, obtained 3 4 isolates consisting 5 genera, namely, Aspergillus sp., Fusarium Penicillium Rhizopus Trichoderma sp.
