The mycotoxins penitrem A (produced by Penicillium crustorum) and roquefortine (produced predominately by Penicillium roqueforti as well as other Penicillium species including P. crustorum) can be found in mould-contaminated cheese, bread, rice, walnuts and decaying organic matter such as silage, garbage and compost. Absorption after oral ingestion is rapid. Dogs are more commonly affected than cats, probably because of their tendency to scavenge and ingest rotting material (Barker et al., 2013).
