Molds are more capable of growing in materials with high osmotic pressure or with low moisture. They also have the ability to grow under acidic conditions.
Penicillin was discovered as a product of the mold Penicillium notatum. This mold is generally found on the skin of oranges and lemons and Alexander Fleming was eating an orange and plating bacteria at the same time. Some mold contaminated the culture dish and when it was incubated, zones of inhibition appeared around the mold colonies. This was investigated and penicillin was discovered! This mold is also commonly found on stale bread.
Penicillin is, because it's actually mold a type of fungi.The blue in blue cheese is mold too,but it's a close relative to the mold in penicillin making it a good mold.

No there are no herbs containing penicillin. Penicillin comes from a mold and that is the only source. There are however many herbs which have antibiotics in them, some of which are even better than penicillin in some applications, (such as when something has become resistant to penicillin), some of them are: echinacea, goldenseal, calendula and garlic. You can grow penicillin mold and use it as an antibiotic, external use (such as a poultice or salve) is safest as it can often grow toxins which are brought out in the extraction proccess, however the mold itself in its raw state is not toxic, it is the standard types of blue/green/white kitchen mold, and also the mold in some cheeses is a penicillin.

No it is not. Penicillin is grown from mold (Penicillum fungi).

It can grow mold if it is left unrefrigerated for a long time. But it is unlikely to spoil otherwise.
Penicillin is a natural occurring antibiotic. The kind you get from a pharmacy has been measured and regulated for safety, but Flemming, the scientist who discovered penicillin noticed that bacteria could not grow where mold from a piece of bread had been. Mold on citrus also contains penicillin.
