India’s poor air quality and excessive dust in cities such as Mumbai, make it easier for the fungi to thrive...which has probably been a problem for decades, but anything to make headlines is fair game.
Conidiobolus coronatus is a different type of fungus.
I had black mold in my previous house, up in the attic. Cost me a fortune to have it eradicated.

President Biden's infrastructure plan would "reduce automobile usage" to combat climate change, said D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton at a Capitol Hill news conference Wednesday following a White House meeting on infrastructure between the president and congressional leaders.
"We're investing in not only to reduce automobile usage, but also we're investing in pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, if you really want to reduce, really want to get at climate change,"
Before Moab was a Mecca for outdoor recreation in Utah, it was the hub of cold war uranium mining; and in the rush to process the ore for nuclear weapons, officials made a terrible decision we're still paying for.
That decision made in 1956 was to build a uranium processing mill along the banks of the most important river in the American Southwest: the Colorado River.
"When they established a mill, there wasn't very much thought given to protecting the river," said Russell McCallister, the director of the federal cleanup.
The Colorado provides water to tens of millions of people and millions of acres of crops downstream. .....
For now, the mill site has groundwater wells to remove uranium, ammonia and other contaminants before they reach the river.
More than a decade of clean up has cost $600 million, with work expected to continue into the 2030s. The final bill could be around a billion dollars.
Similar to ancient Rome, there is no cohesion, no community, no civility. People are now so tightly wound that nearly every possible issue leads to outrage and violence.
Sometimes it feels like western civilization has become a never-ending Jerry Springer episode, replete with fist fights, race riots, screaming matches, puerile insults… and an eager, bloodlusty crowd chanting for more.
Ancient Romans had their Coliseum. We have Twitter.
All of this, of course, barely scratches the surface.
The real point — why it reminded me of Falling Down — is that ordinary citizens are powerless to fix this manmade disaster. The people in charge don’t give a damn about ordinary citizens, because if they did, they wouldn’t have done what they’ve done. We find ourselves in a broken system, where the incentives have gone haywire, and the world has stopped making sense. We’re all like William Foster, stuck in that L.A. traffic jam with a broken air conditioner. Everything seems to be falling apart, and we find ourselves helplessly falling down.
Probably a lot of people aren’t going to be able to cope. We’re going to see more and more people going berserk — seemingly random massacres, “suicide by cop,” acts of domestic terrorism — because what do you expect people to do when the rules don’t work anymore?
