Where these black fungi exist?
Mucormycetes is the group of fungi which cause mucormycosis (black fungus). These are present in the environment mostly in the soil and decaying organic matter like leaves, compost piles and animal dung. This fungus is more common in soil than in air. These fungi are mostly harmful but people with deficient immune systems suffer more often. The fungal spores can cause an infection in lungs or sinuses which can also spread to other parts of the body.
