Emergomyces is a genus of fungi in the order Onygenales. Species are known human pathogens and show thermal dimorphism, converting from hyphal states under saprobic conditions to yeast-like states under pathogenic conditions. They are the causative agents of emergomycosis, a systemic mycosis in immunocompromised patients. The name Emergomyces refers to these newly emerging mycoses, only encountered in the last few decades.
