    This document discusses three types of Aspergillus molds: Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Aspergillus niger. Aspergillus flavus is associated with nuts, peanuts and tree seeds in warm humid climates and can produce aflatoxins which affect the liver and cause liver damage. Aspergillus fumigatus thrives in humid conditions and can cause lung infections and allergies affecting the nose and sinuses. Aspergillus niger has a jet black color and musty odor and has been used to produce citric acid; it can also cause ear infections, sinus infections and skin reactions on the face.
