In the fungus cultivation portion of this lab, penicillium mold was grown onto two agar plates with variations in nutrient availability. Fresh potato dextrose agar (FPDA) and potato carrot agar (PCA) were the two media used to grow penicillium. FDPA is more nutrient rich than PCA, so it was expected that the penicillium mold would grow better on FPDA compared to PCA. Both plates were inoculated in the center of the agar with a dime sized circle of penicillium and left to incubate.
