Abstract

Accuracy of assignment of specific epithets to Penicillium isolates documented as agents of blue mold of edible and ornamental bulb, root and tuber crops is highly variable. Methods have ranged from appropriate (recent morpho-cultural criteria, metabolite production, and/or DNA sequences), to plausible (morpho-cultural criteria in older monographs), to suspect (no method specified, or identification via inappropriate literature). A catalogue of names appropriately to plausibly assigned is presented, with authors and places of publication, indications on host range, and methods used for identification. Names are tabulated by category: segregates of P. corymbiferum, i.e., names in subgenus Penicillium, series Corymbifera associated with Liliaceae, sensu lato; names in subgenus Penicillium, not in series Corymbifera but associated with Liliaceae; names not in subgenus Penicillium but associated with Liliaceae; names associated with Beta vulgaris (beets and sugar beets), and names associated with mostly tropical or subtropical roots and tubers. Ambiguities or deficiencies in assignment of certain specific epithets are noted.
