I do not think fungus can grow on bleach. The conditions will not allow them to. If something grew in a bleach plate, that could mean
1. the amount of bleach you put in the plate is minimal (very diluted)that there was still enough nutrition and air around for the fungus to grow.
2. You mistook and put something that not bleach in.
Repeat the experiment and see .... try different concentrations of bleach ... usually from what i know ..... fungus cannot live in bleach. But there are some fungus that have bleaching capabilities.
Example this article "Humic acid bleaching by white-rot fungi isolated from biosolids compost" by GRANIT Tzafrir et al.
