What does MUCOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
botanytechnical
A mold fungus of the genus that commonly grows as a fuzzy grey or black coating on bread, dung, and other decaying organic matter.
Mucor species grow quickly, sending out fine threads called hyphae that spread across a food surface within days, which is why the fungus is a familiar nuisance in kitchens and compost. Some mucor species are used deliberately in food fermentation, while others can cause opportunistic infections in people with weakened immune systems. The name comes from Latin mucor, meaning mold or mustiness.
