Mucor ellipsoideus is a fungus first isolated from human clinical specimens in the US. M. ellipsoideus is able to grow and sporulate at 37 °C like closely related M. indicus, but the former has narrow ellipsoidal sporangiospores, as compared to the subglobose to ellipsoidal sporangiospores of the latter.[1]
