Aspergillus rambellii
Aspergillus rambellii is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Ochraceorosei section.[2] The species was first described in 2005.[1] It accumulates very large amounts of sterigmatocystin, 3-O-methylsterigmatocystin and aflatoxin B1.[1]

Growth and morphology
A. rambellii 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.
