What is the white, fuzzy species in this agar plate?

05 February 2022 1 6K Report

This is a photo of a recent mold air sample. I am trying to identify what the white, fuzzy species could be. Would anyone know (a) if it is mold, (b) what species? I know a lab test is best to determine but at this stage, we only have a photo. Thank you.

You can go through microscopy. It may be mucor but without a microscope image it is not possible to identify
