Section  Flavi  encompasses both harmful and beneficial  Aspergillus  species, such as  Aspergillus oryzae , used in food fermentation and enzyme production, and  Aspergillus flavus , food spoiler and mycotoxin producer. Here, we sequence 19 genomes spanning section  Flavi  and compare 31 fungal genomes including 23  Flavi  species. We reassess their phylogenetic relationships and show that the closest relative of  A. oryzae  is not  A. flavus , but  A. minisclerotigenes  or  A. aflatoxiformans  and identify high genome diversity, especially in sub-telomeric regions. We predict abundant CAZymes (598 per species) and prolific secondary metabolite gene clusters (73 per species) in section  Flavi . However, the observed phenotypes (growth characteristics, polysaccharide degradation) do not necessarily correlate with inferences made from the predicted CAZyme content. Our work, including genomic analyses, phenotypic assays, and identification of secondary metabolites, highlights the genetic and metabolic diversity within section  Flavi .
