<abstract>The rhizosphere generally comprises of various types of microorganisms like bacteria and fungus. The overall performance of the plants including physiological performance, crop quality as well as the crop productivity totally depends upon the rhizosphere. Among the rhizosphere components, arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi (AMF) is one of the most common types of symbiotic associations between some rhizosphere microorganisms and root of higher plants. The present study was conducted to investigate the comparative analysis of fungal status in rhizosphere of  lessThan i greaterThan Juniper lessThan /i greaterThan   lessThan i greaterThan communis lessThan /i greaterThan ,  lessThan i greaterThan Juniper lessThan /i greaterThan   lessThan i greaterThan macropoda lessThan /i greaterThan  and  lessThan i greaterThan Juniper lessThan /i greaterThan   lessThan i greaterThan recurva lessThan /i greaterThan  from three selected sites in Kinnaur (H.P.). Microflora plays a very important role in maintaining balance in life. Diversity of fungal spores were seen and these were isolated and identified during the investigation.  lessThan i greaterThan Glomus lessThan /i greaterThan ,  lessThan i greaterThan Acaulospora lessThan /i greaterThan  and  lessThan i greaterThan Gigaspora lessThan /i greaterThan   lessThan i greaterThan gigantea lessThan /i greaterThan  are dominating genera and also included there species. The whole spores are common native of cold deserts and it has been seen that with the increase in the altitude, spore density decreases. Various biochemical tests have been done to differentiate the soil samples from one another.</abstract>
