New and interesting species of Penicillium (Eurotiomycetes, Aspergillaceae) in freshwater sediments from Spain
Penicillium species are common fungi found worldwide from diverse substrates, including soil, plant debris, food products and air. Their diversity in aquatic environments is still underexplored. With the aim to explore the fungal diversity in Spanish freshwater sediments, numerous Penicillium strain...
