Arxotrichum was established by Crous et al. (2018d) for A. wyomingense which was isolated from soil, based on the analysis of LSU sequence data. Ascomata if present are pale ochraceous to olivaceous grey, superficial, sphaerical to ovate and ostiolate with numerous flexuous, undulate or spirally coiled, verrucose to echinulate, septate, pale ochraceous or brown hairs. Asci are obovate-clavate and evanescent with short pedicels and ascospores are ellipsoidalfusoid to brown, with distinct apical germ pores. The asexual morph has septate conidiophores with basal yellowish brown and apically colourless, ramified, racemose branched stipes and solitary, aseptate, subglobose conidia that are rough-walled to rugose (Crous et al. 2018d).
