These plates were left on my 3rd floor balcony for around 30 minutes. The left it plated on CMA and the right is plated on PDA. The PDA plate shows evidence of longer growth in all the types of fungi on the plates. The black fungi shows a large amount of growth in both plates, but has grown faster and larger on the PDA plate. We see large teal and yellow colonies on the PDA plate that may not be visible due to size on the CMA plate. There is a surprising amount of variety on both plates. Because of the faster growth/ larger size of the colonies present on the PDA, I would consider it better in this case.
