Meanings and usage

noun: germ, bacterium, fungus
菌

Two etymology blocks share the same Teochew reading, one covering bacterium/germ/fungus and the other mushroom/toadstool (plus an alternative-form and surname sense); the fungus/germ senses were combined but which register applies in Teochew is unclear.
