Microascus manginii is a filamentous fungal species in the genus Microascus.[1] It produces both sexual (teleomorph) and asexual (anamorph) reproductive stages known as M. manginii and Scopulariopsis candida, respectively.[1] Several synonyms appear in the literature because of taxonomic revisions and re-isolation of the species by different researchers.[2] M. manginii is saprotrophic and commonly inhabits soil, indoor environments and decaying plant material.[3] It is distinguishable from closely related species by its light colored and heart-shaped ascospores used for sexual reproduction.[4] Scopulariopsis candida has been identified as the cause of some invasive infections, often in immunocompromised hosts, but is not considered a common human pathogen.[5][6][7] There is concern about amphotericin B resistance in S. candida.[6]
