Viewing the fungi under a microscope, Micheli was reminded of the shape of an aspergillum (holy water sprinkler), from Latin spargere (to sprinkle), and named the genus accordingly. [2] [3] Aspergillum is an asexual spore-forming structure common to all Aspergillus species; around one-third of species are also known to have a sexual stage. [4]
Aspergillus fumigatus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus, and is one of the most common Aspergillus species to cause disease in individuals with an immunodeficiency. Aspergillus fumigatus , a saprotroph widespread in nature, is typically found in soil and decaying organic matter, such as compost heaps, where it plays an essential ...
Aspergillus giganteus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus (from Latin "aspergillum," meaning "holy water sprinkler") that grows as a mold. [2] It was first described in 1901 by Wehmer, [ 1 ] and is one of six Aspergillus species from the Clavati section of the subgenus Fumigati . [ 3 ]

Aspergillus candidus (also called A. triticus, A. albus, and A. okazakii) is a white-spored species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. [1] Despite its lack of pigmentation, it is closely related to the most darkly-pigmented aspergilli in the Aspergillus niger group. [ 1 ]
Aspergillus penicillioides is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus, and is among the most xerophilic fungi. [1]Aspergillus penicillioides is typically found in indoor air, house dust, and on substrates with low water activity, such as dried food, papers affected by foxing, and inorganic objects such as binocular lenses.

Aspergillus clavatus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus with conidia dimensions 3–4.5 x 2.5–4.5 μm. It is found in soil and animal manure . The fungus was first described scientifically in 1834 by the French mycologist John Baptiste Henri Joseph Desmazières .
Aspergillus brevipes is an anamorph species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. [1] [3] [5] It is from the Fumigati section. [6] It was first described in 1952. [2] It has been isolated from soil in Australia. [6] Aspergillus brevipes produces roquefortine C, meleagrin and viriditoxin. [7]
