Penicillium is a type of fungi under the phylum Ascomycetes. The discovery of penicillium led to the first antibiotic discovered (penicillin).
Conidia are chains or clusters of asexual spores of ascomycetes develop from tips of conidiophores. Conidiophores is formed during asexual reproduction of ascomycetes, fungal hyphae grow form mycelium.
5 types of fungi in the world are... Rots, yeasts, molds, mildews, and mushrooms.
what is the difference between ascomycotes and zygomycotes
phycomycetes
phycomycetes are generally found in aquatic areas. they are found in decaying wood and damp places. mycellium of phycomycetes is aseptate and coenocytic. they reproduce by forming zoospores and aplanospores endogenously and sexually by the fusion of isogamous, anisogamous and oogamous gametes.. examples are albugo, mucor, rhizopus etc..
Fungi is the name of the kingdom. (Kingdom: Fungi)Fungi is classified into different classes.Class: Phycomycetes eg: Mucor, RhizopusClass: Ascomycetes eg: Penicillium, YeastClass: Basidiomycetes eg: Ustilago.

Because penicillin is made out of the fungus ascomycetes.
In terms of ecological processes, ascomycetes are important as decomposers of organic material, symbiotes with trees, and a major source of nitrogen in certain ecosystems (as lichens). In industry, ascomycetes, the various yeasts, are what make bread rise and alcoholic beverages alcoholic. As well, several antibiotics are produced from ascomycetes. Many chemicals are massed produced by culturing the ascomycetes that product them naturally. There are some negative reasons why ascomycetes are important. Some, like Claviceps purpurea, are nasty plant pathogens that cost farmers money and raise food prices. Some, such as Candida albicans, are human pathogens.
