Aspergillus navahoensis is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Nidulantes section.[2] The species was first described in 1982.[1] It was isolated from sand in Arizona, United States.[2] It has been reported to produce averufin, norsolorinic acid, 6,7,8-trihydroxy-3-methylisocoumarin,[3] desferritriacetylfusigen, echinocandin B,[4] and sterigmatocystin.[5]
