The selection of microorganisms with the greatest potential of composer enables to increase efficiency and reduce the time of the composting process. The isolation of fungi has received special attention because they are the main responsible for the degradation of substances of difficult decomposition during the composting process. This review presents a survey of fungi with cellulolytic enzymatic potential, the methods of isolation and screening of these fungi and the methods for determining the potential enzymatic assay. The fungi that decompose rich cellulose residues are the main decomposing agents of ruminal residue, have a diversity of enzymes with degradation capacity of complex organic compounds, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, acids aromatics, and some proteins. Thus, with the indication of fungi that increase the composting efficiency, specific glasses can be developed for the transformation of this type of residue.
