Eurotium is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Aspergillaceae. [2]

The genus was circumscribed by Heinrich Friedrich Link in 1809. [3]

Because of nomenclatural changes brought about by one fungus one name, most of the species formerly placed in Eurotium have been transferred to Aspergillus . [4] As of October 2023, Species Fungorum (in the Catalogue of Life) accepts four species of Eurotium: [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Aspergillaceae</span> Family of fungi

The Aspergillaceae are a family of fungi in the order Eurotiales which are commonly known as the blue and green molds. The family includes the commonly known and observed genera of Aspergillus and Penicillium amongst other lesser known mold genera but also includes larger ascomycete fungi such as Penicilliopsis.
