Petri Dish Methods - Fungi (non-nutrient media) 

Penicillium pinophilium Chaetomium globosum Aureobasidium pullulans Gliocladium virens 

Other petri dish tests require the use of non-nutrient media and gel. The ASTM G-21-96 procedure is described here. In this test, there are minimal nutrients in the petri dish gel (agar) so growth of fungi on the media is very sparse. The fungal inoculum is forced to search for food, a carbon source of nutrient, directly from the plastic test piece.
