This is a CMA plate with my apple stem sample. It has a white fuzzy center on the bottom and top and a large black coloured covering on the bottom and top as well. The growth rate is quite fast because it covers a large surface area. I think this mold resembles alternaria alternata the most because of its pitch black colour on the top and bottom. However it is different because of its white fuzzy center in the middle of my mold and doesn’t have any brownish colour.
