Hello... Here is your Answer...
Penicillium Fungi..
They are Fungi which are used for production of antibiotics and belong to class Ascomycetes.
The thallus (mycelium) typically consists of a highly branched network of multinucleate, septate, usually colorless hyphae. Many-branched conidiophores sprout on the mycelia, bearing individually constricted conidiospores. The conidiospores are the main dispersal route of the fungi, and often are green in color.
Sexual reproduction involves the production of ascospores, commencing with the fusion of an archegonium and an antheridium, with sharing of nuclei. The irregularly distributed asci contain eight unicellular ascospores each.
ASPERGILLUS FUNGI ...
They also belong to phylum Ascomycotina..
They are pathogen natured fungi and have sexual stage of reproduction.
Aspergillosis is the group of diseases caused by Aspergillus. The most common subtype among paranasal sinus infections associated with aspergillosis is A. fumigatus.[23] The symptoms include fever, cough, chest pain, or breathlessness, which also occur in many other illnesses, so diagnosis can be difficult. Usually, only patients with already weakened immune systems or who suffer other lung conditions are susceptible.
BREAD MOULD FUNGI...
a fungus that grows in the form of multicellular filaments called hyphae.
Rhizopus stolonifer (redirect from Black bread mould)
Rhizopus stolonifer is commonly known as black bread mold.
It is a member of Zygomycota and considered the most important species in the genus Rhizopus
Black mold (redirect from Black mould)
Black mold, black mould or Black Mold may refer to: Black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum), common in buildings Black mold (Aspergillus niger).

Bread mould fungi
KINGDOM: Fungi
{Position unsure, but primitive}
ORDER: Mucorales
FAMILY: Mucoraceae
GENUS: Rhizopus
SPECIES: stolonifer
The picture at the right, believe it or not, shows one of the most common fungi in the world, the Bread Mold Fungus, Rhizopus stolonifer. A few days before the picture was taken some water accidentally seeped into a package of cornmeal. When I finally opened the package, the cornmeal was spoiled and its surface was covered with the stuff appearing in the upper two-thirds of the picture. The lower third shows the grainy cornmeal. The size of the cornmeal granules shows that the picture has been magnified a lot.
Another time I left some winter squash slices out too long and within a couple of days the slices were covered with mold. A close-up of the mold is shown below:

Some members of the genus produce penicillin, a molecule that is used as an antibiotic, which kills or stops the growth of certain kinds of bacteria. Other species are used in cheesemaking. According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the widespread genus contains over 300 species.[2]

Micheli (1729)
Aspergillus was first catalogued in 1729 by the Italian priest and biologist Pier Antonio Micheli. Viewing the fungi under a microscope, Micheli was reminded of the shape of an aspergillum (holy water sprinkler), from Latin spargere (to sprinkle), and named the genus accordingly.[1] Aspergillum is an asexual spore-forming structure common to all Aspergillus species; around one-third of species are also known to have a sexual stage.[2]
