ABSTRACT
We describe a protocol that is rapid, simple and efficient for the isolation of DNA from fungi. It does not require liquid nitrogen and uses disposable homogenizers in eppendorf tubes. Because of its simplicity, this method is appropriate for simultaneous processing of a large number of samples and for population analyses with PCR techniques.
