From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Penicillium candidum, is a synonym of Penicillium camemberti Thom. It is a mold in the genus Penicillium, used to make Brie and Camembert cheeses. It is related to Penicillium chrysogenum the source of Penicillin, but not closely enough to ward off infection in those who consume the cheese. Allergic cross-reactivity, however, was reported.
