Embree & Indoh (1967)

Aquamortierella is a fungal genus in the Mortierellaceae family of the Zygomycota. [1] The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Aquamortierella elegans, found in New Zealand and Japan. [2]

The genus name of Aquamortierella is in honour of Barthélemy Dumortier (1797–1878), who was a Belgian who conducted a parallel career of botanist and Member of Parliament. [3]

The genus was circumscribed by Robert W. Embree and Hiroharu Indoh in Bull. Torrey Bot. Club Vol.94 (Issue 6) on pages 464–467 in 1967.
