Cadmium was recognised as one of the major environmental and public health risk problem. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of cadmium on growth and morphology of phylloplane fungi. Discs of fungal cultures were placed on Cd amended PDA medium. Alternaria alternata, Septaria tritici, Epicoccum purpurascens, Fusarium avenaceum, Bipolaris sorokiniana were tested. Mycelial growth, morphology and sporulation were studied. All tested species differed in cadmium response. Retardation of radial growth of myceli um was observed. Changes of pigmentation, and inhibition or loss of sporulation was noted. The most sensitive to cadmium was S. tritici.
