Penicillium commune is a fungus species of the genus of Penicillium which occurs in dry-cured meat products and cheese.^{[1][3][4][5][6]} Penicillium commune produces the mycotoxins cyclopiazonic acid, rugulovasines, viridicatin, penitrem A, roquefortine comazaphilone A, comazaphilone B, comazaphilone C, comazaphilone D, comazaphilone E and comazaphilone F^[5][6][7][8]
