As the country's health system tries to recover from corona crisis, another fungal threat comes in existence known as Mucormycosis or Black fungus Infection, especially affecting the Asian continents like India with the presents recorded updates of more than 10,000 infected cases. Mucormycosis is opportunity seeking fungal infection mainly affects immunocompromised population such as diabetic ketoacidosis patients and those whose immunity has been already hijacked via SARS-CoV-2 virus, creates the fungal entry roadmap from various routes like inhalation, ingestion or inoculation to rule over the body. In the present review, we enlightened the Covid-19 tuned mucormycosis Indian epidemic figures, causative aspects, molecular studies or pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. In addition we would also like to talk about the role of human body’s immune system and how to reconstruct our immunity both at physical and non-physical (molecular) level as a defending wall towards affection of this infection.
