Nannizziopsis chlamydospora is a keratinophilic microfungus in the family Onygenaceae that causes skin infections in reptiles, producing hyaline, thin-walled, small, sessile conidia and colonies with a strong skunk-like odour. This species is distinguished by producing chlamydospores and its ability to grow at 5 °C.{{cite journal|last1=Stchigel|first1=A. M.|last2=Sutton|first2=D. A.|last3=Cano-Lira|first3=J.
