Antonio Micheli, a priest and botanist, discovered the existence and identity of the fungi 300 years ago. The name, Aspergillus, has religious origins due to the type of person that first described it. Apparently, the name derives from aspergillum, the holy water dispensing instrument common in Catholic liturgy services.
