On these plates, we have growth from a sample of moldy vegan cheese shreds on the left, and growth from a sample of moldy pumpkin seeds on the right of both plates. The plate on the top of the photo with the black star is the CMA media and the plate on the bottom with the red star is the PDA plate.
Each side of these plates appear to represent the growth of two different fungi. On the CMA plate, the growth from the cheese is fairly small, but still significant, with defined colonies throughout that half of the plate. For the pumpkin seeds, there is fairly uniform growth all over. For the PDA plate, both samples appear to have had more and faster growth than on the CMA plate. For the cheese, there is a lot less definition in the colonies as the growth has spread so much, and for the pumpkin seeds there also appears to be more growth expansion from the original site where the sample was plated. On this plate, the growth from the cheese went into the space for the pumpkin seeds.
Based on these observations, it appears that both of these fungi prefer to grow on the PDA plates as both samples had more growth on this media than on the CMA in the same amount of time and for the same amount that was plated.
