Summary

During storage studies on asparagus spears packed in plastic film and held at 1 °C, a Penicillium fungus was associated with subsequent spoilage. On the basis of colony characteristics, the isolate was identified as Penicillium hirsutum (P. hirsutum var. hirsutum). The report is the first of P. hirsutum causing spoilage of asparagus spears in Japan. Inoculation tests showed that among all the Penicillium species tested in this study, only the identified fungus was able to infect asparagus spears.
