Geomyces
''Geomyces'' is a genus of filamentous fungi in the family Myxotrichaceae. Members of the genus are widespread in distribution, especially in northern temperate regions. Known to be psychrotolerant and associated with Arctic permafrost soils,〔''National Geographic'': (【引用サイトリンク】title=Deadly Bat Disease Linked to Cold-Loving Fungus )〕 they are equally prevalent in the air of domestic dwellings, and children's sandpits. Species of ''Geomyces'' have previously been placed in the genus ''Chrysosporium''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Geomyces pannorum )〕
==Description==
This genus is characterized by short but distinct branched conidiophores that have chains of spores formed directly from the cells of the branches.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Geomyces'' )〕 Sometimes only the tips of the branches become spores. The spores (conidia) are 1-celled, and either white or yellow.〔 The teleomorph of species in this genus, if they exist, are in ''Pseudogymnoascus'' or Gymnostellatospora.
''Geomyces'' species are known to form ericoid mycorrhizae with the roots of alpine Ericales and other perennial hosts, helping these plants adapt to low-nutrient environments.
The ''Geomyces'' are keratinophilic fungi, able to degrade hairs and nails. They have been investigated for possible use in the biodecomposition of waste poultry feathers.
