Penicillium simplicissimum

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, decarestrictine K decarestrictine M, dihydrovermistatin, vermistatin and penisimplicissin^[6][7][8]
