Geomyces is a genus of filamentous fungi in the family Myxotrichaceae. Members of the genus are widespread in distribution, especially in northern temperate regions.[1] Known to be psychrotolerant and associated with Arctic permafrost soils,[2][3] they are equally prevalent in the air of domestic dwellings,[4] and children's sandpits.[5] Species of Geomyces have previously been placed in the genus Chrysosporium.[6]
