It's interesting to see what crops up on the mold mats when you leave them too long...  tells me what's going on in my environment. Penicilliums are king here.  So smelly.  |
Smelly Penicilliums? Perhaps but when I think of Penicilliums I'm thinking the band and good ones and here's a Google search I did a couple of days ago.

I always remembered the good one,the one that produces penicillin, as P.notatum, but I was wrong, they changed the name to a new one I'd never heard of.
During my years of teaching Microbiology, now with DNA snips available there have been many name changes.
The one I remember best was Aerobacter aerogenes which got changed to Enterobacter aerogenes.
