Abstract: Clarifying the dominant fungi and their morphological features in Fu Brick Tea not only facilitated artificial intervention to promote the growth of these dominant fungi and enhance tea quality, but also provided theoretical support for its standardized production. Using Fu Brick Tea from Shaanxi Province as the material,fungi were isolated, purified and cultured in the middle stage of blooming. These fungi were clustered and identified by methods including colonial morphology observation, ITS region sequence homology comparison and phylogenetic analysis, and a total of 6 species of fungi were isolated. Through morphological and molecular biological methods, these 6 fungi were identified as Aspergillus cristatus, Aspergillus luchuensis, Aspergillus oryzae, Penicillium crustosum, Aspergullus glaucus and Aspergillus niger. During the blooming of Fu Brick Tea, the dominant fungi were mainly Aspergillus and Penicillium.

Key words: Fu Brick Tea, the middle stage of blooming, fungus, morphological features, molecular biological identification, Shaanxi Province
