Please try to include photos to show all parts of the fungus, eg top, stem, and gills.
Note any smells, and associated trees or plants (eg oak, birch). A spore print can be very useful.

Hello everyone. Im writing a school projekt on the production of penicillin, and so I need a colony of Penicillium chrysogenum for this. i have captured some wild molds that looks like the right thing, but they are all different! i don't know which one I can use, or if any of them even is P. chrysogenum. if anyone has some expert knowledge in identifying this species, I would really appreciate it a lot if you would take a look at the attached pictures (:
if you need close up pictures of any of the petri dishes in particular, please just let me know
(the ones labeled "C. melon" came from a cantaloupe melon, and the ones labeled "citron" came from a lemon peel. I realize all the petridishes contain many different species, I need a better way to transfer )
Best regards.
Lauge
