Ichthyochytrium is a fungal genus in the Chytridiales of uncertain familial placement. A monotypic genus,[1] it contains the single rare species Ichthyochytrium vulgare, described from Germany by Marianne Plehn in 1920.[2] A parasite of freshwater fishes, it forms spherical bodies measuring 5–20 μm that have refractive granules. It typically attacks the lung and gills.[3]
