fungi
Cryptosporidium is not a bacteria; it is a protozoan parasite. It can cause gastrointestinal illness in humans and animals through contaminated food or water sources.
A virus is typically the smallest of these three biological entities, as it is much smaller than bacteria and fungi. Viruses are even smaller than the smallest bacteria and fungi, and can only replicate inside the cells of a living host organism.
There are really 5 main groups; viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa (which includes the malaria parasite) and Helminthes (which includes parasites such as flatworms and roundworms). Moulds are classified as fungi.
fungi and bacteria grow from spores.
Biological hazards refer to any living organisms or products of organisms that pose a risk to human health. This can include bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and other types of pathogens that can cause illness or disease in humans.
A parasite is any organism that lives on or in another organism, not necessarily a fungus, virus or bacteria.

Biological contamination is living organisms such as fungi, viruses, or bacteria. Biological contamination are products that can be hazardous to an animal or human.

In biological terms, fungi form a kingdom. The group of organisms we call fungi, includes yeasts and molds as well as mushrooms. Plants have a separate kingdom. Animals have a separate kingdom. Bacteria, protozoans, amoebas are in other kingdoms.

Specific organisms that cause disease, including cellular and acellular entities, are referred to as pathogens. These include bacteria, fungi, parasites (cellular), and viruses (acellular). Pathogens can produce biological, chemical, or thermal agents that disrupt normal biological functions and result in disease in their hosts. Examples include Staphylococcus aureus (bacteria), Candida albicans (fungus), Plasmodium spp. (parasite), and influenza virus.
why is food a biological hazard I believe you meant to say. When food spoils it usually b/c of bacteria. which is "biological" it becomes hazardous when "perishing" may cause food poisoning or severe gi disturbances even death in extreme cases. ie untreated food poisoning, elderly, immunocompromised etc.. food does not fall in the traditional biological hazard category- only under special circumstance, some of which listed above.
