Aspergillus: first line treatment voriconazole
Scedosporium apiospermum: associated with immunocompetent patients after drowning
Cladophialophora bantiana (dematiaceous mold)
Ochroconis gallopava (dematiaceous mold)
Exserohilum rostratum (dematiaceous mold)
Mucorales (Mucor circinelloides): associated with mycotic aneurysms and infarcts
Fusarium (although causing CNS infections in the form of bilateral endophthalmitis, does not really causes brain abscess)
