Fungus: a phylum of lower plants, which has no chlorophyll, has obvious nuclei in hyphae, and propagates with sexual spores or asexual spores. The mycelium mainly absorbs ready-made nutrients from the outside to maintain life. Usually parasitic on other objects, it is widely distributed in nature, such as yeast, Penicillium producing penicillin, mushrooms and Tricholoma matsutake in food, fluffy things that have been moldy for a long time, and some pathogens.

Bacteria: a large class of microorganisms, so tiny that they must be seen with a microscope. There are many kinds, such as spherical, rod-shaped, spiral, arc, linear, etc., which are generally propagated by dividing plants.
