Google and your camera manual have the answers. Have you tried doing some research on your own?

Thanks for highlighting to me....

I read through the user's manual, but i felt too brief and i wish someone can share some other experience that is not stated in the manual which i can learn from

Dust is usually individual specks by itself
while fungus is usually a patch of connecting tangle of specks (like spider web)
