It really depends on the where the Blue cheese is from. Blue cheese's are usually named for the town or district they are made in. You should ask your teacher where they got their cheese, so you can then figure out what fungus is responsible for ripening the Blue cheese. For example: Stilton is made from Penicillin glaucum, while roquefort is made from Penicillium roqueforti.
