Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Penicillium brunneum” as species of fungus. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Penicillium, brunneum and species.

Editorial reviewA sound reference starting point where classification, measurement and the date of the underlying evidence remain visible. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1994, 1002, 1973—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Penicillium, brunneum and species providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Penicillium brunneum”, the useful work is to connect “species of fungus” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 22, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q10622889. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1994, 1002 and 1973.

Critical limits

Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
