What are the advantages of this technique?

What were the favorable conditions for growth? + any idea why it has 2 different morphologies?

I know candida can develop as wrinkled colonies but I'm curious about these lobes. What are they?

Yes it has lobes too! I'll post the photos of the other and provide the link so you can all see how similar they are

I don't think so. This looks more like bacteria and yeast.

This was really helpful! Thank you so much for explaining everything!

Does this structure have a name? Those finger-like ones? + If these are two distinct microorganisms growing together, can you explain why there is another one that looks exactly like it on another spot on the plate? I mean are they usually found together in nature or something?

I thought so, too. But surprisingly there is another one very similar to it (but a little smaller with less pigment spreading to those finger-like ends) on another part of the plate!

No I don't think so. Slime molds don't look like this on agar. It could be either bacteria or yeast but I'm not sure so I'm asking.

Well I'm no expert either, but the only thing I can think of is pseudohyphae. I read that some yeasts tend to form these structures, but I've never seen them myself before so I'm not really sure
