Penicillium variabile is an anamorph species of fungus in the genus Penicillium which has been isolated from permafrost deposits. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} Penicillium variabile produces rugulovasine A and rugulovasine B ^[4] This species occurs on wheat, flour, maize, rice, and barley, and it is also very common in indoor environments. ^{[5] [6]}

In the University of Newcastle, and publicated in the Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, was found that the Penicillium variable P16 is a main marker of the advancement of the Parkinson illness (with the loss of telomere length and P21) ^[7]
