The Arthrodermataceae are a family of fungi containing nine dermatophyte genera — Epidermophyton, Microsporum, Nannizzia, Trichophyton, Paraphyton, Lophophyton, Guarromyces, Ctenomyces and Arthroderma.

The Onygenaceae are a family of fungi in the Ascomycota, class Eurotiomycetes.

Histoplasma is a genus of fungi in the order Onygenales. Species are known human pathogens producing yeast-like states under pathogenic conditions. They are the causative agents of histoplasmosis in humans and epizootic lymphangitis in horses.

Coccidioides is a genus of dimorphic ascomycetes in the family Onygenaceae. Member species are the cause of coccidioidomycosis, also known as San Joaquin Valley fever, an infectious fungal disease largely confined to the Western Hemisphere and endemic in the Southwestern United States. The host acquires the disease by respiratory inhalation of spores disseminated in their natural habitat. The causative agents of coccidioidomycosis are Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii. Both C. immitis and C. posadasii are indistinguishable during laboratory testing and commonly referred

Ascosphaera is a genus of fungi in the family Ascosphaeraceae. It was described in 1955 by mycologists Charles F. Spiltoir and Lindsay S. Olive. Members of the genus are insect pathogens. The type species, A. apis, causes chalkbrood disease in honey bees. The reproductive ascospores of the fungus are produced within a unique structure, the spore cyst, or sporocyst.

Gymnoascus is a genus of fungi within the Gymnoascaceae family. The genus, widely distributed in northern temperate areas, contains eight species.

Bettsia is a genus of fungi within the Ascosphaeraceae family. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Bettsia alvei. Alvei was first described by Annie Betts and this genus is named for her.

The Ascosphaeraceae are a family of fungi in the Ascomycota, class Eurotiomycetes.

The Gymnoascaceae are a family of fungi in the Ascomycota, class Eurotiomycetes.

Blastomyces is a genus of fungi in the order Onygenales. Species are known human pathogens and show thermal dimorphism, converting from hyphal states under saprobic conditions to yeast-like states under pathogenic conditions. They are the causative agents of blastomycosis, a systemic mycosis in immunocompromised patients.

Byssoonygena is a genus of fungi within the Onygenaceae family. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Byssoonygena ceratinophila.

Arachniotus is a genus of fungi within the family Gymnoascaceae.

Xanthothecium is a genus of fungi within the Onygenaceae family. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Xanthothecium peruvianum.

Ajellomyces is a genus of fungi in the division Ascomycota, in the family Ajellomycetaceae. The genus contains two species, which have a widespread distribution, especially in tropical areas. The species Ajellomyces capsulatus is significant to human health as the causative agent of histoplasmosis. This species is more usually referred to as Histoplasma capsulatum, with the designation Ajellomyces capsulatus referring to the ascomycetous perfect stage.

Bifidocarpus is a genus of fungi within the Onygenaceae family.

Paracoccidioides is a genus of fungi in the order Onygenales. Species are known human pathogens producing yeast-like states under pathogenic conditions. They include the causative agents of paracoccidioidomycosis and lobomycosis.

Uncinocarpus is a genus of fungi within the Onygenaceae family. The name is derived from the Latin word uncinus, meaning "hook" and the Greek word karpos (καρπός), meaning "fruit". It was distinguished from the genus Gymnoascus based on keratinolytic capacity, ascospore morphology and the development of hooked, occasionally spiraling appendages. Alternatively, Uncinocarpus species may possess helically coiled or smooth, wavy appendages, or lack appendages altogether, an example of such species being U. orissi.

Pectinotrichum is a genus of fungi within the Onygenaceae family. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Pectinotrichum llanense.

Auxarthron is a genus of fungi within the Onygenaceae family.

species of fungus

Polytolypa is a monotypic genus of fungus containing the single species Polytolypa hystricis. First classified in the Onygenaceae family, as of 2008 it is considered to be in the Ajellomycetaceae, although there is still uncertainty as to its phylogenetic relationships with other similar genera. This species is only known from a single specimen derived in the laboratory from a specimen of dung of the North American porcupine, Erethizon dorsatum, collected in Ontario, Canada. Polytolypa hystricis contains bioactive compounds that have antifungal activity.

Aphanoascus is a genus of fungi in the family Onygenaceae. It was circumscribed by Hugo Zukal in 1890.
