Dermatophyte fungi are microorganisms that degrade keratin present in human and animal substrates and use it as a source of nutrients for its development, causing infections called dermatophytoses. This study aimed to investigate dermatophyte fungi in soil samples from recreational parks in the city of Ilhéus, Bahia. Three soil samples were collected from each of the eight recreational parks located in different areas of the city. For the isolation of the fungi was used the method of nail and hair baits described by Vanbreuseghem (1952). The collections were carried out in eight different environments used as leisure resources for the population. The selection criteria of the sampled environments were those of intense flow of people, animals and presence of garbage. Of the 24 analyzed samples, only 7.14% of the fungi found are associated with dermatophytoses. The other 92.85% belong to the class of soil saprophytic fungi, but may cause dermatomycosis in people with compromised immune systems. The results of the present study corroborate other studies demonstrating the prevalence of saprophytic fungi present in soils of public places, stressing the need for special care with the residents of these places, especially with children, given the risk of contracting cutaneous mycoses.
