Penicillium can be found in soil, air, decaying organic matter, and on various surfaces such as food products. It is a common mold that can also be found in indoor environments like buildings and homes.
Common types of mold that can be found in a petri dish include Penicillium, Aspergillus, Rhizopus, and Cladosporium.
While some species of Penicillium can produce mycotoxins that are harmful if ingested in large amounts, most species are not dangerous to humans. In fact, Penicillium is used in the production of certain cheeses and antibiotics like penicillin.

Spores from Penicillium glaucum are used to make gorgonzola cheese which belongs to the Ascomycota phylum.
