Aspergillus flavipes is a type of mold
that is found both in indoor and outdoor environments.
It has been isolated predominantly from tropical and
subtropical soils as well as from decaying vegetation,
but has also been found in deteriorated cotton fabric.
This mold is characterized by its yellowish or buff
of brownish color, and grows rather slowly compared
to other molds.

As with most aspergillus molds, Aspergillus
flavipes is allergenic in nature. There has been no
reported cases of severe toxic or invasive diseases
that are associated with this type of mold. However,
this species was implicated in a case of a cutaneous
aspergillosis in a child with a compromised immune system
as well as in a case of osteomyelitis.
