Aspergillus taichungensis is a species of fungus in the family Aspergillaceae.

A. taichyngensis was first described in 1995 and has been isolated from soil in Taiwan. [1] It was first described in 1995. The fungus is from the Candidi section, which is known for white spores. [2] It has been shown to produce candidusin C, terphenyllin, and 3-hydoxyterphenyllin. [2]

The genome of A. taichungensis was sequenced as a part of the Aspergillus whole genome sequencing project. The genome assembly size was 27.12 Mbp. [3]
