Aspergillus siamensis is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus . It is from the Fumigati section.^[2] 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.^[3] The species was first described in 2013.^[1]

Growth and morphology

A. siamensis has been cultivated on both Czapek yeast extract agar (CYA) plates and Malt Extract Agar Oxoid® (MEAOX) plates. The growth morphology of the colonies can be seen in the pictures below.
