Penicillium growth can still occur indoors even if the relative humidity is low, as long as there is sufficient moisture available on a given surface. A British study determined that Aspergillus- and Penicillium-type spores were the most prevalent in the indoor air of residential properties, and exceeded outdoor levels. [14]
The surface of a Talaromyces (formerly Penicillium) marneffei colony. Image: James Gathany, CDC. Talaromyces marneffei, formerly called Penicillium marneffei, [1] was identified in 1956.

Penicillium simplicissimum is an anamorph species of fungus in the genus Penicillium which can promote plant growth. [1] [3] [4] [5] This species occurs on food and its primary habitat is in decaying vegetations [6] Penicillium simplicissimum produces verruculogene, fumitremorgene B, penicillic acid, viridicatumtoxin, decarestrictine G, decarestrictine L, decarestrictine H, decarestrictine I ...
Penicillium expansum produces the mycotoxin patulin, a neurotoxin that can enter the food supply via apples and apple products such as juice and cider. [19] Considering the size of the apple product industry and the large number of people that may come into contact with infected fruits, control of P. expansum is vitally important.
