Aspergillus kanagawaensis is another
type of aspergillus mold that can be found in outdoor
environments. It has been isolated from the soils in
the conifer-hardwood forest of Wisconsin, particularly
growing in hemlock and jack pines, with colonies exhibiting
pinkish-tan colored conidia and vesicles that have one
series of sterigmata.

Aspergillus kanagawaensis is considered
allergenic, which means exposure to this type of mold
can actually induce hypersensitivity to some individuals,
especially those people who have weakened immune systems
such as infants, children, elderly and people with certain
illnesses. However, it should be taken into account
that A. kanagawaensis is not considered hazardous. In
fact, there is still no evidence of toxic or invasive
diseases associated with this type of aspergillus mold.
