Description

Houbraken and co-authors set out a fresh classification for Aspergillus, Penicillium, Talaromyces, and their kin. These fungi, in the order Eurotiales, matter for food, homes, health care, and industry. Older schemes rested on visible traits, which gene data have since challenged.

The team rebuilt family links with a nine-gene dataset. They accept four known families and add one new family, Penicillaginaceae. The order holds 28 genera in their scheme. For Aspergillus and Penicillium they update the ranks below genus: subgenera, sections, and series. A full list of accepted species in the order closes the work. Taxonomists gain one shared, gene-based frame for these fungi.
