Tall sporangiophores arising directly from the substrate, erect, (10 –) 15 – 30 µm in diam. and up to 10 mm in length, often with irregular swelling and no septation when young, then smooth and septate with age, with or without yellowish contents, numerous droplets adhering to walls; lateral sporangiophores sympodially branched, (3 –) 5 – 10 µm diam. and 80 – 340 µm long, smooth, with one septum, hyaline. Sporangia globose and multispored, initially yellowish then yellowish-brown, axial ones 70 – 260 µm, lateral ones 40 – 100 µm, walls covered with fine spines, breaking. Columellae obovoid, 30 – 170 × 35 – 210 µm, pyriform to cylindric, 50 – 190 × 70 – 120 µm, mostly hyaline, rarely yellowish. Collars present or absent. Sporangiospores irregular in shape and size, 8 – 20 (– 25) × 5 – 15 (– 20) µm when ovoid to cylindrical-ellipsoid, 10 – 25 × 8 – 20 µm when irregular, hyaline, smooth. Chlamydospores not observed. Zygospores unknown.	en	Wang, Ya-Ning, Zheng, Ru-Yong (2022): Mucor tofus, a new species isolated from Mao-tofu (a fermented soybean food) in China.
