There are several species that can infect lungs, the principle one of which is Aspergillus fumigatus. Other main species are A. niger, A. ochracious, A. flavus, A. nidulans and about 50 more.

We have a listing of all species known to infect people here: aspergillus.org.uk/species/... - tick the 'Medical significance' box to limit your searches to those species.
