2. Mycology. In form Mucor. A genus of fungi, originally (esp. in Linnaean use) comprising diverse (chiefly mould-forming) fungi and slime moulds, but later restricted to some fifty usually saprophytic zygomycetes which produce abundant mycelium; (also mucor) a fungus of this genus. Mucor is closely related to the genus Rhizopus, with which it has been conflated and confused in the past, but its members lack stolons and produce sporangiophores from all parts of the mycelium.The word was used as a genus name by P. A. Micheli ( Nova Plantarum Genera (1729) 215), and subsequently (with varying application) by Linnaeus ( Species Plantarum (1753) II. 1185) and by E. M. Fries ( Systema Mycologicum (1832) III. vii. 317). Its present taxonomic validity derives from its use by G. Fresenius ( Beiträge zur Mykol. (1850) i. 4).
