Answer:

fungi that makes blue cheese

Explanation:

Penicillium represents a genus of ascomycetous fungi that generate sexual spores referred to as axcospores, which form in sac-like structures named asci. Penicillium roqueforti is a filamentous fungus of this genus that is required for making blue cheese. This mold fungus (P. roqueforti) is a decomposer of organic materials that grows naturally in soils. P. roqueforti produces roquefortine C, a mycotoxin that is used as a starter culture for blue cheese production.
