I had said, "The hormone has a fungicide to prevent rotting."
Your question, "A fungicide is a fungicide, right?" Good question!

I made a mistake when I said this: "I don't use cinnamon on seedlings because although it is a natural fungicide, it also kills the good fungus in the soil. The good fungus is needed for microbial balance in the soil."

This is what I meant to say: "I don't use cinnamon on seedlings because although it is a natural fungicide, it also kills the good bacteria in the soil. The good bacteria is needed for good microbial activity in the soil."
