Spegazzinia is a genus of mitosporic Ascomycota in the Apiosporaceae family. The widely distributed genus contains seven species.[1] This genus is somewhat related to other lobed or ornamented genera such as Candelabrum. No information is available regarding health effects or toxicity. Allergenicity has not been studied. Spegazzinia is usually identified on spore trap samples where it is seen every few weeks (spores have very distinctive morphology). It may also be found in air by culturable (Andersen) samples if a long enough incubation period is provided so that sporulation occurs. Laboratories have never found this organism growing on indoor environmental surfaces. Natural habitat includes soil and many kinds of trees and plants.[2]

The genus was circumscribed by Pier Andrea Saccardo in Rev. Mycol. (Toulouse) vol.2 on page 140 in 1880.

The genus name of Spegazzinia is in honour of Carlo Luigi Spegazzini, (in Spanish Carlos Luis Spegazzini) (1858–1926), who was an Italian-born Argentinian botanist and mycologist.[3]
