High-quality oncom, traditional Indonesian fermented food, was prepared by the inoculation of pure culture of several Neurospora, Rhizopus, and Mucor strains. Although the role of Mucor in oncom production was not known, many Mucor strains could produce high-quality oncom. Solid inoculum containing each of 4 Rhizopus, 4 Mucor, and 3 Neurospora strains with use of cooked rice as a carrier were prepared to produce high-quality oncom. All inoculum except one contained enough amount of living cells to produce oncom after storage for 180 days at room temperature. Bandung red oncom and bogor red oncom produced by the local producer using the solid inoculum had very good quality. They were brought to the local market and well accepted by the consumers.
