Byssochlamys is a former genus of fungi in the Trichocomaceae family, containing teleomorph forms of Paecilomyces. Several species of the genus Byssochlamys were well known to be associated with food spoilage,[2] especially acidic heat-processed foods.[3] A health concern was the production the mycotoxin patulin in fruit juices, as well as byssochlamic acid and mycophenolic acid.[3]
Taxonomy
First described by Swedish botanist Richard Westling in 1909,[4] it contained teleomorph forms of the genus Paecilomyces, traditionally covering anamorphic forms. With the adaptation of the "one fungus : one name" rule, Byssochlamys is considered a synonym of Paecilomyces.
The database Mycobank lists 9 legitimate species names, most of which are now considered to belong in the genus Paecilomyces.
- Byssochlamys fulva, now Paecilomyces fulvus.
- Byssochlamys lagunculariae, now Paecilomyces lagunculariae.
- Byssochlamys nivea and B. trisporus, now Paecilomyces niveus.
- Byssochlamys spectabilis, now Paecilomyces variotii.
- Byssochlamys striata, now Pseudohamigera striata.
- Byssochlamys verrucosa, now Thermoascus verrucosus.
- Byssochlamys musticola and Byssochlamys zollerniae are currently not assigned an updated taxonomy.
