The 24 Penicillium isolates from postharvest diseased fruits and vegetables obtained at the Kyoto Municipal Central Market and at retail markets in Osaka and Kobe were identified to species level. The hosts surveyed were apple, melon, grape, lemon (imported), Natsudaidai, mandarin orange, orange (imported), maize, Chinese yam, spinach and malabar spinach. P. italicum and P. digitatum were identified as the causal agents of postharvest decay of all of the citrus fruits. Two species, P. aurantiogriseum and P. glabrum were identified as pathogens of apple. The market diseases of malabar spinach, melon and maize were caused by P. italicum, but those of spinach (2 species), Chinese yam and grape (2 species) were caused by P. simplicissimum and P. digitatum, P. sclerotigenum and P. janthinellum and P. adametzioides, respectively. Inoculation tests with conidial suspensions showed that 6 species were pathogenic: P. italicum and P. digitatum for citrus fruits, P. sclerotigenum for Chinese yam, P. glabru
m and P. aurantiogriseum for apple and P. janthinellum for grape. The inoculated hosts showed the same symptoms as those obtained at market.
