Fibers and their (bio) deterioration phenomena was studied by scanning electron microscopy.Results: Among the fungi identified on the investigated old textiles: Aspergillus sp., are common indoor and outdoor molds. It can cause problems in the conservation of cultural heritage and also pose risks to health and environment Abstract Folk costum Koch sedimentation methodInterpretation: Monitoring of fungal contamination represents the basis for effective conservation strategy of indoor heritage environments.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFungal contaminationAspergillosisPatternsDeteriorationEnvironment risksFibresOld textilesScience & technologyLife sciences & biomedicineEnvironmental sciencesArticle000529304000031499504412, Special Issue SI10.22438/jeb/41/2(SI)/JEB-31
