A, B Portable microscopical micrographs of black biofilm and white biofilm taken in situ; SEM micrographs; the fungal microstructures of black biofilm sample and white biofilm sample (C, D), the morphology of mycelia and spores on the surfaces of the peeling murals (E, F), the morphology of mycelia in wheat straw (G) and hemp thread (H) of murals; Fluorescence microscopic micrographs after DAPI-PI stained, the liveness of hyphae in black biofilm samples was lower (I–L) while in white biofilm samples was higher (M–P).
