Jargon

We obviously can't remove the jargon in an article like this, but I think we could explain some of it, especially in the lead. Maybe "hyphae (long branching filaments)"? Also since the common meaning of "vessel" includes such things as pint beer glasses, that should be explained. "Maxilla" could easily be explained. See, for example, how "erythemic" has a short non-jargon definition in the text. Kendall-K1 (talk) 12:18, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion to add a link to mucormycosis clinical cases

Mucormycosis cases in FungiQuest

I suggest to add a web link to your mucormycosis page to allow readers to see clinical cases of this fungal infection. The website www.fungiquest.net, but the user can look with deep-linking directly to the respective fungus cases. The cases come from Fungiscope, an international study on rare invasive fungal infection internationally recognized and endorsed by all leading scientific societies in the field of medical mycology including ISHAM (International Society of Human and Animal Mycology), ESCMID (European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Disease) and ECMM (European Conference on Medical Mycology).

This link would add valuable information to your mucormycosis page. Thank you for your consideration. LuisaDG (talk) 08:42, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I recommend merging Black fungus (COVID-19_condition) into this article. No need for separate articles describing a predisposing factor for this condition. Feel free to discuss? Tophercfh (talk) 23:17, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This is the sort of proposal that I would normally want to support. However, given the clinical and epidemiological topicality of the subject of the page (and the interest currently being shown by news media) I wonder whether it might be better to wait a bit before making a decision so as to prevent the main Mucormycosis page being potentially overwhelmed with content focusing on the COVID-19 pandemic (including possible running updates).

Trimmed content

Trimmed[1] some recent news content, including some OT:

This fungal infection was recently reported across many states in India causing panic to the general public. Kerala, a state in India recently reported new cases of this infection. Currently, 9 new cases are under treatment. ^[1] Another shocking news was reported recently, a fungal infection called White fungus ^[2] has also been reported in some parts of India, which is more dangerous than Black fungus.
