Aspergillus oerlinghausenensis

Aspergillus oerlinghausenensis is an anamorph species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus which has been isolated from soil in Germany. It is from the Fumigati section. Several fungi from this section produce heat-resistant ascospores, and the isolates from this section are frequently obtained from locations where natural fires have previously occurred. The species was first described in 2015.
