Blue mold - Penicillium

Japanese: アオカビ(青黴) - アオカビ(英語表記)Penicillium
Blue mold - Penicillium
A filamentous fungus in the Ascomycete family of the Aspergillus order. About 150 species are known. It is the most common mold found in daily life, and often grows on shoes and rice cakes. Among the Penicillium species, P. chrysogenum is particularly well-known for secreting the antibiotic penicillin. Cylindrical cells called phialides (pedicels) are produced on the mycelium that has branched several times, and spores are released by being squeezed out from the apical hole, usually in a string shape on the phialides. Some Penicillium species produce organs called cleistothecia, which produce asci and ascospores after sexual reproduction.
