The zygomycete fungi Cunninghamella spp. is another possible cause for mucormycosis for the species that grow at 37 degrees Celsius.
The culture growth is moderate. The spores are not readily identified on an Air-O-Cell cassette due to lack of distinctive features.
Growth is better on PDA and MEA than on DG-18 due to the addition of Dichloran in the media.
