Yes, but most Penicillium molds produce unusable amounts of penicillin. In fact, the primary reason why antibiotics started being used only decades after its discovery was because it was challenging to produce usable quantities of the stuff, and it was only much later when a species was discovered that produces enough penicillin that it could be manufactured
