Accepted Answer

Penicillium belongs to the phylum Ascomycota, which is commonly known as sac fungi. They get their name from the sac-like structure, called an ascus, in which they produce their sexual spores. Penicillium also produces asexual spores called conidia, which are commonly seen as a greenish-blue mold on bread and fruits.
