The Trichocomaceae are a family of fungi in the order Eurotiales. Taxa are saprobes with aggressive colonization strategies, adaptable to extreme environmental conditions. Family members are cosmopolitan in distribution, ubiquitous in soil, and common associates of decaying plant and food material.
 | This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Several genera not listed by Houbraken et al., 2020, but are still connected with the taxon on Mycobank. Their status as legitimate genera, or synonymity with other genera remains to be resolved. (September 2023) |

Taxonomy
When first described, the family contained some of the most familiar fungi, such as Penicillium and Aspergillus. In 2011, it was proposed, that the family should be split into the three families Aspergillaceae, Thermoascaceae and Trichocomaceae.[2]
In an updated phylogeny of the Eurotiales published in 2020, there were 8 genera included in the Trichocomaceae.[1] Several more genera are connected to the Trichocomaceae in the Mycobank database, some of which await clarification of their standing.[3]
