The Eurotiomycetes are a class of ascomycetes within the subphylum Pezizomycotina.

Some members of the Eurotiomycetes were previously grouped in the class Plectomycetes.

As of April 2022, Species Fungorum (in the Catalog of Life) includes more than 4000 taxa in the Eurotiomycetes, including 11 orders, 32 families, 355 genera, and 3810 species.[1]

The Eurotiomycetes was circumscribed in 1997 by Swedish mycologists Ove Erik Eriksson and Katarina Winka. At that time, it only contained the order Eurotiales, which itself was divided into the suborders Eurotiineae and Onygenineae.[2]

Nomenclature

The scientific classification for this particular class is particularly tricky, with one particular species having both the anamorph (asexual form), and teleomorph (sexual form) names used in reference to them.

e.g. anamorph form = Penicillium; teleomorph form = Talaromyces or Eupenicillium.[3]

Morphology

Many members (Eurotiales, Onygenales) produce an enclosed structure cleistothecium within which they produce their spores.
