1. Fungi - These are the most common decomposers in most ecosystems. Fungi break down dead organic matter by secreting enzymes to digest it. Decomposers like mushrooms, mold, and yeast are all examples of fungi.
2. Bacteria - Bacteria are another common decomposer that help break down dead organic matter. They play a significant role in the nitrogen cycle by breaking down the waste products of animals and plants.
3. Earthworms - Earthworms are larger decomposers that help break down dead organic matter in the soil. They eat dead plant and animal material and their waste helps to enrich the soil with nutrients.
