Phialemonium is a genus of fungi in the family Cephalothecaceae of the Ascomycota. The genus was circumscribed by Walter Gams and Michael McGinnis in 1983. The genus is intermediate between Acremonium and Phialophora.[1] It is classified as a dematiaceous (dark-walled) fungus. [2]


Studies

A study from Oxford Academy considered Phialemonium species to have been isolated from air, soil, industrial water, and sewage and although these species rarely cause human disease, infection is often fatal.[3]
