Among the fungi responsible for superficial mycoses, the dermatophytes constitute the major group. Dermatophytosis may not be fatal but causes a high morbidity and the psychological embarrassment accompanying it can be traumatic. A total of 100 shoes and canvas were used for the study. The study constitutes 50 belgium (Okrika) shoes and 50 belgium (Okrika canvass. It was conducted in the rainy season when the fungi infections thrive most. The shoes and canvass materials were soaked briefly in water and sterile cotton wool swab sticks were used to collect swab samples from them for cultivating, implanting fragments of specimen of dermatophyte test medium and microscopic demonstration of fungal hyphae and arthrospes. The specimens were cultured in saboureid, dextrose agar and allowed to incubate in anaerobic condition for 24-48 hrs. Final plate reading result was concluded after 3 weeks.Results from the study showed that the incidence of non pathogenic fungi are very high in shoes (Aspergillus niger 40%, Aspergillus fumigates 25%, penicillin notatum 20% compared to the pathogenic fungi (Trichophyton 10%, and Epidermophyton 5%) compared to their incidence in canvas. It could be seen from this study that the incidence of Tinea pedis in human is very low as a result of their low occurrence of the causative pathogenic fungi.
