The Phaffomycetaceae are a family of yeasts in the order Saccharomycetales that reproduce by budding. Species in the family have a widespread distribution.

The family are named after Phaffomyces but it was placed in the Pichiaceae fungi family.[1]

It is found to be linked to Equine grass sickness (EGS) via pasture mycotoxicosis, which comprises a very large and diverse population of fungi.[2] It is found in silage, including lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and molds.[3] It is found in fermented Ethiopian honey wine, Tej',[4] and can affect bagasse (the waste product) of sugarcane, with other yeast fungi.[5]

Genera

Genus Wickerhamomyces used to be placed within Phaffomycetaceae, until 2008 when it was separated and placed within its own order Wickerhamomycetaceae.[7]
