Sediments form mountain streams in Brenna (Beskid Slaski) were examined for keratinolytic fungi. A rare psychrophilic dermatophyte, Keratinophyton ceretanicus, occurred abundantly in the sediments. The qualitative and qualitative compositions of keratinolytic fungi depended on the water contamination with sewage and on the contents of plant organic material, small mineral particles and salts in the sediments.
