Aspergillus waksmanii is a homothallic species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus which has been isolated from soil from New Jersey in the United States.[1][2][4] It is from the Fumigati section.[5] 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.[6] Aspergillus waksmanii produces apolar indoloterpenes.[7]
