Produces sporangia in clusters, giving rise to dark spots on nutrient-rich substrates like damp bread, vegetables, or other organic debris. It has been implicated in severe cases of mucormycosis, though typically in hospital settings or among highly susceptible individuals. In domestic spaces, regular cleaning and avoidance of prolonged dampness limit its colonisation. Proper storage of perishable goods and swift removal of rotting items are also important preventive measures.
