fungal colonies are formed by a bunch of branch-like structures called hyphae, collectively known as a mycelium. this is one whole structure, coencytic or acoenocytic, formed from one or few spores by assimilation. (with the exception of yeasts which are quite similar in structure to bacterial colonies being that they are unicellular) it is importnt to know that fungi are haploid during most of their life cycle, a trait characteristic only to the kingdom fungi (some fungi only undergo asexual reproduction and, therefore, never acheive a diploid state)
bacterial colonies, like i mentioned earlier, are accumulated masses of single-celled bacteria that reproduce asexually via binary fission.
Both fungi and bacteria can generally grow on the same media with a few exceptions. So when growing fungi in culture, antibiotics are generally mixed in the media to prevent bacterial growth. Also both growth patterns in culture are generally radial. though this can vary as the distribution of nutrients within the media varies
Here's some of what I remember. The Southern colonies were farmers, too, but they're farms were huge. They couldn't have existed without slaves and continue there wealthy lifestyle. As the other colonies came to believe it was the states' responsibility to school all of the children, the South believed it was an individual's responsibility. That meant that the rich often were schooled and the lower classes were not, which over time, resulted in a wider gap between the rich and the poor. That's all I remember.

How do fungal colonies differ from bacterial colonies?
