Here, we report genome sequences of two Penicillium isolates from below the seafloor of the oligotrophic South Pacific Gyre. These genomes are the first reported for fungi from deeply buried marine sediment. Both genomes will provide valuable information regarding the role of fungi and carbon cycling in the energy-limited subsurface biosphere.
