This set of plates is divided in two. On the left is a healthy leaf tissue sample from my dying jade plant and on the right is a sick leaf tissue sample. PDA plate is on the left and CMA plate is on the right. There is a much larger amount of growth on the CMA plate in terms of breadtm but the height on the PDA plate on the teal and white fungi is larger than any other fungi present on both plates. If you wanted rapid growth over space, then the CMA would be better.
