Penicillium is a genus of fungi. Conidiospores are asexual spores that form at the tips of specialized hyphae (conidiophores) in fungi like Penicillium. Zygospores are sexual spores in zygomycetes. Ascospores are sexual spores in ascomycetes (though Penicillium is an ascomycete, the spores budding off hyphae here are asexual). Just calling them "spores" is too general.
