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]

  • Eurotium acutum Blaser (1976)
  • Eurotium carnoyi Malloch & Cain (1972)
  • Eurotium lateritium Mont. (1849)
  • Eurotium microsporum Massee & E.S.Salmon (1901)
