Diverse group of microorganism colonize phyllopshere and performvarious but definite ecological functions. The phyllosphere of five different vegetables namely; Common Okra) AbelmoschusesculentusL., (Fluted Pumpkin) Telfariaoccidentalis, (African Spinach) Amaranthuscruentus ,(Jew’s Mallow) Corchorusolitoriusand (Lagos Spinach) Celosiaargentea}, each from two different locations, (Student Union Building and the Fadama of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State) and were examined Microbiologically for fungal growth using culturedependent techniques. A total of 18 fungal species covering 5 genera respectively were isolated and characterized as Fusarium, Penicillium, Aspergillus, Acremonium and Geotrichium. The fungi genera isolated from this study showed that both human and plant pathogen can colonize plant’s phyllosphere, since most of the edible leafy vegetables have less waxy phyllosphere which permit microbial growth. It is recommended that they are washed and cooked properly before consuming them to avoid food poising and food borne illness.
