The sexual state of Aspergillus parasiticus, a potent aflatoxin-producing fungus within section Flavi, is described. The production of nonostiolate ascocarps surrounded by a separate peridium within the stroma places the teleomorph in genus Petromyces. Petromyces parasiticus differs from P. alliaceus by its larger ascospores with finely tuberculate ornamentation. The anamorphic Aspergillus states of the two species differ in conidial head color and microscopic characters.
寄生曲霉是黄曲霉群中一种能产生强效黄曲霉毒素的真菌，其有性状态已被描述。在基质中产生被单独包被包围的无孔口子囊果，这使得其有性型归为Petromyces属。寄生Petromyces与蒜香Petromyces的区别在于其较大的子囊孢子具有精细的瘤状纹饰。这两个物种的无性型曲霉状态在分生孢子头颜色和微观特征上有所不同。
