Mycotypha microspora, also known as Microtypha microspora,[1] is a filamentous fungus in the division Zygomycota.[2] It was discovered in a Citrus aurantium peel in 1932 by E. Aline Fenner, who proposed a new genus Mycotypha to accommodate it.[2][3] Mycotypha africana, which is another species in the genus Mycotypha, is closely related to M. microspora.[3] The fungus has subsequently been isolated from both outdoor and indoor settings around the world, and is typically found in soil and dung.[4][5] The species rarely causes infections in humans, but has recently been involved in the clinical manifestation of the life-threatening disease mucormycosis.[6]
