A species of the genus of Penicillium which causes Blue Mold of Garlic on Allium sativum L.[1][2][3][4] The genus name is derived from the Latin root penicillum, meaning "painter's brush", and refers to the chains of conidia this fungus produces that resemble a broom.[5]
Blue mold of garlic occurs during harvest and storage, and is particularly prevalent on fresh garlic.[6] This pathogen affects a wide range of hosts in addition to garlic throughout the world including apple, citrus fruits, corn, grape, melon, and pear.[6]
