Black Aspergillus - A. niger ?

Another Aspergillus,growing on dead succulent stems of Aptenia - this time coal black colour . Aspergillus nigra could be one, are there other black aspergilli spp. pls. ?

Some more data

Colonies had a strangeoff-putting rubbery scent (I think I should not have smelled it!)

On applying KOH the spores turns dull brown

The conidiophore os smooth, thin

The heads are two-series, the metulae elongated trapezoid, the phialides short

Metulae 20-28 um long

Phialides 7-8 um long

Spores 3-4 um across, smooth

Thanks, yes. Not very human-friendly pet!

Thanks
