NCIt definition : The only fungal genus in the Syncephalastraceae family within the Mucorales order.
Sporangiospores are produced asexually through the development of cylindrical merosporangia;
however, syncephalastrum also undergoes a sexual cycle that produces zygospores. It
is primarily isolated from animal excrement, plant material, and soil in tropical
or subtropical regions.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: Any fungal organism that is not assigned to the species level but can be assigned
to the Syncephalastrum genus level.;
