 Mucor is a microbial genus of approximately 40 species of moulds in the family Mucoraceae.  Mucor mucedo, commonly known as the common pinmould, is a fungal plant pathogen and member of the phylum Mucoromycota and the genus  Mucor.  Mucor indicus, one of the most important stains of Zygomycetes fungi, has been the subject of several studies since a couple of hundred years ago. 

Species are commonly found in soil, digestive systems, plant surfaces, some cheeses like Tomme de Savoie, rotten vegetable matter and iron oxide residue in the biosorption process. The Mucorales are characterized by anamorph structures. The mycelium is typically non-septate or irregularly septate. Sporangiospores are produced in multi-sporangia. The sporangia are characterized by the inclusion of a variously shaped columella.

These fungi aren't harmful to most people. However, for people who have weak immune system, breathing in mucormycete spores can cause on infection in the lungs or sinuses which can spread to other parts of the body. Among such fungi are members of the Asperigillus and Fusarium genera as well as other genera including  Mucor comprising the emerging pathogen group in humans.

Fungi order of the Mucorales colonize all kinds of wet, organic materials and represent a permanent part of the human environment. They are economically important as fermenting agents of soybean products, and producers of enzymes, but also as plant parasites and spoilage organisms.
