1. Grass- a producer which gets it's energy from the sun. There is the most energy here because with each step up the food pyramid 10% of energy is lost.
2. Deer- herbivore (feeds on producer)
3. Wolf- carnivore 
4. Fungi- decomposer

@-the-humdrum- It is not 10% that is lost, it is 10% that is retained. Approximately 90% of energy is lost due mainly to heat in metabolism.
