That which is claimed: 1. A method of increasing plant yield, said method comprising: applying an inoculant composition comprising the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67154, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67155, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67156, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67157, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67158 and/or the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67159 to plant seed in an amount/concentration effective to increase the yield of plants grown from said seed, as compared to plants grown from untreated control seed. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said inoculant composition comprises one or more hygroscopic polymers. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said inoculant composition comprises one or more sugar alcohols. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said inoculant composition comprises one or more sugar alcohols and one or more polyethylene glycols. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said inoculant composition comprises at least 1×10 4 colony-forming units of the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67154, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67155, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67156, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67157, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67158 and/or the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67159 per gram and/or milliliter of said inoculant composition. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said inoculant composition comprises one or more lipo-chitooligosaccharides. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said inoculant composition comprises at least 1×10 7 colony-forming units of the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67154, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67155, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67156, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67157, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67158 and/or the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67159 per gram and/or milliliter of said inoculant composition. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said inoculant composition is aqueous. 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein said inoculant composition is non-aqueous. 10. A method of increasing plant yield, said method comprising: applying the isolated Penicillium bilaiae strain having the isolated Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67154, the isolated Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67155, the isolated Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67156, the isolated Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67157, the isolated Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67158 and/or the isolated Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67159 to plant seed in an amount/concentration effective to increase the yield of plants grown from said seed, as compared to plants grown from untreated control seed. 11. A method of increasing plant yield, said method comprising: introducing the isolated Penicillium bilaiae strain having the isolated Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67154, the isolated Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67155, the isolated Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67156, the isolated Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67157, the isolated Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67158 and/or the isolated Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67159 into a plant growth medium in an amount/concentration effective to increase the yield of plants grown in said plant growth medium, as compared to plants grown in an untreated control medium. 12. A method of increasing plant yield, said method comprising: introducing an inoculant composition comprising the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67154, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67155, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67156, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67157, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67158 and/or the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67159 into a plant growth medium in an amount/concentration effective to increase the yield of plants grown in said plant growth medium, as compared to plants grown in an untreated control medium. 13. The method of claim 12 , wherein said inoculant composition comprises one or more hygroscopic polymers. 14. The method of claim 12 , wherein said inoculant composition comprises one or more sugar alcohols. 15. The method of claim 12 , wherein said inoculant composition comprises one or more sugar alcohols and one or more polyethylene glycols. 16. The method of claim 12 , wherein said inoculant composition comprises at least 1×10 4 colony-forming units of the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67154, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67155, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67156, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67157, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67158 and/or the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67159 per gram and/or milliliter of said inoculant composition. 17. The method of claim 12 , wherein said inoculant composition comprises one or more lipo-chitooligosaccharides. 18. The method of claim 12 , wherein said inoculant composition comprises at least 1×10 7 colony-forming units of the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67154, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67155, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67156, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67157, the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67158 and/or the Penicillium bilaiae strain having the deposit accession number NRRL 67159 per gram and/or milliliter of said inoculant composition. 19. The method of claim 12 , wherein said inoculant composition is aqueous. 20. The method of claim 12 , wherein said inoculant composition is non-aqueous.
