The ascospores are spherical or lenticularoften with a sculptured epispore. In most species of Penicillium reproduction takes place almost entirelyby means of the abundant conidia borne in chains on the branched, brush-like conidiophores (fig. 31). Ascocarps are rare, and a detailed study of theirdevelopment has yet to be
