Summary:Our team is made up of mycological experts who for many years have dedicated themselves to the taxonomic study, both morphological and molecular, of filamentous fungi, having discovered and published numerous new species for science, including a number of species of clinical interest.

The collection, started in the 90s, is the result of the taxonomic study of micromycetes from different parts of the world. In recent years, we have accumulated a large number of isolates, identified at the molecular level, species of Aspergillus, Penicillium or Talaromyces with great biotechnological or industrial potential. New or rare species have been deposited in international culture collections, mainly the Dutch CBS.
