Swabs taken from a bathroom shower on the right, and the bathroom window on the left. Again faster fungal growth is seen on the PDA plate number 18 and slower growth on the CMA plate 17. Many more types of fungi are showing on the CMA plate on the left side, suggesting that for this situation where many fungi are present in a sample it would be better to use a media with less nutrient content so that the fastest growing fungi doesn’t just take over the entire plate.
