The possible reason for widespread of it in India is the abundant presence of mucorales or fungi in the community and hospital environment, a large number of susceptible hosts especially diabetics. There is no white fungus as such, infact beauveria bassiana is sometimes called white and rarely cause human infection. The infection is more serious than mucormycosis. Doctors are calling Candida or Aspergillus or Fusarium as white.We must also understand that Mucormycosis is not a black fungus.
