Saccharomyces is a genus of fungi that includes many species of yeasts. The name Saccharomyces is from Greek σάκχαρον ('sugar') and μύκης ('fungus') and means sugar fungus. Many members of this genus are considered very important in food production where they are known as brewer's yeast, baker's yeast and sourdough starter among others. They are unicellular and saprotrophic fungi. One example is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is used in making bread, wine, and beer, and for human and animal health. Other members of this genus include the wild yeast Saccharomyces paradoxus that is the closest

Pichia (Hansenula and Hyphopichia are obsolete synonyms) is a genus of yeasts in the family Pichiaceae with spherical, elliptical, or oblong acuminate cells. Pichia is a teleomorph, and forms hat-shaped, hemispherical, or round ascospores during sexual reproduction. The anamorphs of some Pichia species are Candida species. The asexual reproduction is by multilateral budding. The genus name of Pichia is in honour of Pico Pichi (1862–1933), who was an Italian botanist and Professor of natural history and plant pathology at a viticulture school in the town of Conegliano in the Province of

Pichia membranifaciens is a species of yeast.

Peziza fimeti is a species of ascomycete fungus belonging to the family Pezizaceae. Found in Europe and North America, the fungus grows on cow dung. It produces small, light brown, cup-shaped fruit bodies up to 2 cm (0.8 in) in diameter. The asci (spore-producing cells) are cylindrical (or nearly so), with dimensions of up to 280 μm long and 18 μm in diameter. The spores are ellipsoid and measure 8 by 16 μm.

Ascozonus is a genus of fungi in the Thelebolaceae family.

Saccharomycodes ludwigii is a yeast species best known for being a contaminant in alcohol and fruit juice production. It is highly resistant to typical environmental stressors such as high temperature, high sugar concentration, and high sulfur dioxide concentration. It is often referred to as the "winemaker's nightmare," as it contaminates products by outcompeting desirable yeast species. However, S. ludwigii strains are currently being tested in the growing low-alcohol beer industry.

Saccharomycodes is a genus of yeasts. They are helobially reproducing yeasts. The type species is Saccharomycodes ludwigii. The other species, Saccharomycodes sinensis, is known from a single strain that was isolated from soil from a forest on Mount Chienfang on Hainan in China. It is the sister genus of Hanseniaspora.

Kluyveromyces marxianus in ascomycetous yeast and member of the genus, Kluyveromyces. It is the sexual stage (teleomorph) of Atelosaccharomyces pseudotropicalis also known as Candida kefyr. This species has a homothallic mating system and is often isolated from dairy products.

Wickerhamomyces anomalus is a species of ascomycete and teleomorphic fungi of the genus Wickerhamomyces. It is used as a preventive (biocontrol agent) for undesirable fungi or mold, nevertheless it may spoil food in large quantities. It is used in wine making, airtight stored grain (preventing Aspergillus flavus aflatoxins), apples, and grapevines. Pichia anomala has been reclassified as Wickerhamomyces anomalus.

Microthecium fimicola is a species of ascomycete fungus in the family Ceratostomataceae. It is characterised by ascomata (sexual fruiting bodies) that have a distinct opening (an ostiole) and by dark, thick-walled ascospores whose surfaces are coarsely net-like (reticulate). Each spore has a pronounced, pointed germ pore at both ends, a feature used to separate it from similar species. Among the Microthecium species that share the same combination of an ostiole and reticulate spores (M. internum and M. quadrangulatum) M. fimicola is distinguished mainly by spore shape: its ascospores are
