Dang! Now that I have your attention....

Somebody has to have seen this before; concentric ring patterns seen on
isolated circular colonies of common molds such members of Cladosporia,
Penicillia, etc?

The colonies grow in a fashion that leaves distinct concentric rings (see the
photograph at http://members.aol.com/naimhling/ceilingrings.jpg).  What are the
factors influencing the formation of the rings?  

C'mon....SOMEBODY knows the answer.  (A bottle of Jameson goes to the best
response that addresses the question.)
