Descriptions
Penicillium expansum Link 1809
This fungus is a ubiquitous mould: it is common on stored fruit. Kidd (1929), Neill (1937), and Padfield (1954) showed that blue mould due to Penicillium expansum is an important fruit rot in cool storage of apples, causing a rapid brown rot. Padfield (ibid.) suggested that it could be controlled by rigorous culling of all fruit showing any skin injury. It is also important as a rot when peaches and pears are stored. In onions it is an important storage rot of bulbs. It attacks Iris and Lachenalia bulbs when these are stored under poorly ventilated conditions.
