There are over 200 species of Penicillium, commonly called Penicillin. It can be found in soil, rotten fruit, compost and decaying plants. It can also be found indoors on water damaged buildings. Penicillium can be found in other rotten foods such as, cheese, dried foods, herbs, etc. Just because a food is rotten does not mean the Penicillium will grow on it.
