Penicillium is an Ascomycete, or sac fungus, and is a source of antibiotics. Ascomycetes possess branched, septate mycelium and commonly produce conidia externally on conidiophores.

Yeast is a unicellular fungus used in preparing bread and beer and belongs to Ascomycetes. Budding is one of the vegetative methods of reproduction described for fungi.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 2: Biological Classification Fungi - Phycomycetes Ascomycetes Basidiomycetes
The fungus belongs to Ascomycetes, or sac fungi. Conidia are produced externally on conidiophores, whereas sexual ascospores are produced internally inside sac-like asci.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 2: Biological Classification Fungi - Phycomycetes Ascomycetes Basidiomycetes
Ascomycetes represent a very large and diverse class of fungi, ranging from unicellular yeasts to complex multicellular forms like Penicillium. The NCERT textbook notes that because their specific sexual spores (ascospores) are uniquely produced endogenously within tiny, microscopic sac-like structures called asci (singular: ascus), they are commonly and universally referred to as 'sac-fungi' in biological literature.
