These fungi are isolated from certain medicinal plant and I would like to know about their culture characteristics and colony morphology.
Hi : you cant tell what is it, please make slide of each of them and posted again, the spore is very important to specify the fungus.
Thanks.
Dear Vipin,
It could be a film yeast.
What you have prepared is a macroculture. For further identification, you have to go for microculture preparation and the magnification of the order of 400x to 800x would help identify probably both genus and species of the fungus.

Both are sporulating mitosporic fungi ( such as Aspergillus, Penicillium). Do prepare microscopic slides preferably from growing edge to view 20-60X - spores (if characteristic can identify genus and sp. eg Curvularia ) and the spore bearing structures if spore structures are not distinctive ( eg Aspergillus, Penicillium)
It is difficult to see peculiarities in the picture and I do not know, how old is colony, because it is important - rate of growing and also changes in colour. For example - mycelium is thick, grow in concentric rings, grey, young mycelium is fluffy, culture was coloured. I send publication, devoted to this question.
Only on colony morphology it is not possible to identify a fungus. Atleast upload some microscopic pics.
