These are yeast colonies. This happens to be Candida albicans. It is bright white but you cannot identify yeast based on their colony morphology or the color. You still have to do it other ways to which is morphologically and biochemically to put a name on these specifically. But these are small colonies. They are bacterial like. They are not mold like colonies at all.
