Good that you’ve been following up with photo evidence. But, to a viewer, all the observations are appearing to be nonetheless the same due to the texture of the media and also, the way by which the photograph has been taken.
To make things clear, can you elaborate on the observations that you’ve got?
Any colonies? If yes, then what is their colour, texture?
Something like colony characteristics, if any?

Good luck!

Below is the video we used to make the homemade petri dishes:

In the female belly button, we can see that there is a lot of fungi growth on one half and slight growth of orange spots on the other. However, in the male belly button, there is a new species that is pink in colour. This was very fascinating!
