Fungal deterioration of building materials causes economic losses due to restoration processes andbecause it affects the health of the people exposed. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain highlydeteriorating fungal strains to carry out studies focused on biodeterioration control. The aim of thisresearch was to study the mycobiota involved in deterioration of facades through the isolation andcharacterization of fungal strains. Samples were taken from bricks and concrete with visiblebiodeterioration of the Cathedral of La Plata and the Experimental Station of the Centro deInvestigación y Desarrollo en Tecnología de Pinturas (CIDEPINT).
