Globally, the habitation of post- harvest residues in crops like paddy, with fungi causes a major loss economically and in terms of sustainability due to pathogenic manifestation and alter of taste. Lignocellulosic biomass produced from the cultivation of rice holds high potential for solving the problems of new generation biofuels in India. This lignocellulosic mass can be utilized for effective production of these sustainable by- products by exploiting and manipulating the pathogenic ability of the inhabiting mycoflora in them. The cellulolytic and ligninolytic property of fungi can help in the extraction of lignin and cellulose
