Phaffomyces is a genus of fungi within the Saccharomycetales order.[1] It is placed within the Pichiaceae fungi family.[2]
The genus name of Phaffomyces is in honour of Herman Jan Phaff (1913–2001),[3] who was a scientist who specialised in the ecology of yeast.[4]
The genus was circumscribed by Yuzo Yamada in Bull. Fac. Agric. Shizuoka Univ. vol.47 on page 30 in 1997.
