Cunninghamella species
A rapidly-growing fungus that produces a white to gray colony within three days, when incubated at 25oC (77oF). It is commonly isolated from the soil in tropical and subtropical areas and rarely in temperate areas. Rarely, it can be an opportunistic human pathogen causing pulmonary infections in immunocompromised patients.
