The Aspergillaceae are a family of fungi in the order Eurotiales which are commonly known as the blue and green molds. [4] [5] The family includes the commonly known and observed genera of Aspergillus [6] and Penicillium [7] amongst other lesser known mold genera but also includes larger ascomycete fungi such as Penicilliopsis.
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 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 parasiticus is a fungus belonging to the genus Aspergillus. [1] This species is an unspecialized saprophytic mold, mostly found outdoors in areas of rich soil with decaying plant material as well as in dry grain storage facilities. [ 2 ]
The hyphae of Aspergillus species range in diameter from 2.5 to 4.5 μm. They have septate hyphae, [28] but these are not always apparent, and in such cases they may be mistaken for Zygomycota. [27] Aspergillus hyphae tend to have dichotomous branching that is progressive and primarily at acute angles of around 45°. [27]
Aspergillus ustus has been found on the surfaces of walls of caves and in indoor air of buildings [8] including hospitals, [3] [9] soils and bat dung. [6] A sugarcane farm in Egypt was found to host A. ustus and other species of Aspergillus section Usti. [10] Aspergillus ustus is thought to have a world-wide distribution. [6]
