Byssochlamys
Sign in to saveByssochlamys is a former genus of fungi in the Trichocomaceae family, containing teleomorph forms of Paecilomyces. Several species of the genus Byssochlamys were well known to be associated with food spoilage, especially acidic heat-processed foods. A health concern was the production of the mycotoxin patulin in fruit juices, as well as byssochlamic acid and mycophenolic acid.

Byssochlamys is a former genus of fungi in the Trichocomaceae family, containing teleomorph forms of Paecilomyces. Several species of the genus Byssochlamys were well known to be associated with food spoilage, especially acidic heat-processed foods. A health concern was the production of the mycotoxin patulin in fruit juices, as well as byssochlamic acid and mycophenolic acid.
==Taxonomy== First described by Swedish botanist Richard Westling in 1909, it contained teleomorph forms of the genus Paecilomyces, traditionally covering anamorphic forms. With the adaptation of the "one fungus : one name" rule, Byssochlamys is considered a synonym of Paecilomyces.
