I painted Penicillium stained with trypan blue. Penicillium fungi are important post-harvest pathogens, for example citrus green mould is caused by Penicillium digitatum. I'm aiming to draw 12 plant pests, or their symptoms, this year. Penicillium = 3/12 hgpenningtonart.com/...

The painting shows the structure of a penicillium conidiophore, which looks like a simplified blue tree, with rows of circular spores at the end of the branches. The painting includes stipe (trunk), rami (branches), metulae (sub-branches), phialidae and conidia (spores). The conidiophore looks like a simplified blue tree, with rows of circular spores at the end of the branches.
