Assessment Notes
Taxonomic notes
Talaromyces allahabadensis is characterised by colonies with bright yellow mycelia and velvety texture on most media. The species grows well at 37 °C. Talaromyces allahabadensis has ellipsoidal to fusiform conidia. Based on the multigene phylogeny, T. allahabadensis is closely related to T. radicus. Talaromyces allahabadensis is distinguished from T. radicus by acid production on CREA, and denser sporulation on most media. Also, T. allahabadensis cannot grow at 40 °C.
Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?
Due to the little information on the occurrence of this species, I suggest including it as insufficient data (DD).

Population Trend: Uncertain
Habitat and Ecology
Endophytic fungus and human pathogen.
Threats
Species with insufficient data.
Conservation Actions
Species with insufficient data.
Research needed
There are few species registered in GBIF, but its presence in other countries is known, so there is a need for further studies on this species.
Use and Trade
Human pathogen.
