Fungal Infection ; Mucormycosis Discussion 

Mucor is a mold that causes a serious fungal infection. Mucormycosis most commonly affects the sinuses or lungs and affects people with weakened immune systems.  It infects the sinuses or lungs after inhaling fungal spores from the air, or can enter the skin through a cut, scrape, burn, or other skin injury.  This group of fungi lives in most soil, especially decaying leaves, composite piles, or rotten wood.  People come in contact with this frequently but may do not often develop mucormycosis unless they are immune compromised, then the fungi gets into their sinuses or lungs, develops an infection and spreads to other areas of the body and they are unable to fight it off (Cdcgov. (2015)). Fungal Infection ; Mucormycosis Discussion Papers.
