Cokeromyces recurvatus is a pathogenic fungus. [3] [4] Described as a new species in 1950, it was isolated from rabbit dung collected in Illinois. [2]

The genus name of Anzia is in honour of William Chambers Coker (1872 – 1953), was an American botanist and mycologist. [5]

The genus was circumscribed by Leland Shanor in Mycologia Vol.42 (Issue 2) on page 272 in 1950.

It appears similar to Coccidioides immitis . [6]
