Fungi form an important group of microorganisms comprising of both forms Filamentous and Non-filamentous but mycotoxin production is mostly seen associated with terrestrial filamentous fungi like molds. Symbiosis between plants and endophytes is well known in which symbionts provide shelter to latter and fungi produces some bioactive compounds which play important role in mitigating the effect of pathogens, insectides etc and defend the plant from attack. Toxigenic fungi can produce mycotoxin like Trichothecenes, aflatoxins, rubratoxins, ochratoxins, fumonisins etc. Among them trichothecenes play important role to be used as potential biopesticides. Potentially hazardous concentrations of the trichothecene mycotoxins can occur naturally in cereals and grains
