case_images: To our surprise, umbrella-shaped empty sporangia along with underdeveloped rhizoids and nodal sporangiophores were also visible in wet mount preparations (Figure 1).

case_images: Thin, septate hyphae with vesicle and conidia along with aseptate hyphae and sporangium in KOH preparation were seen in the same field (Figure 2).

case_images: One was mat-like initially having rugose texture which changed to granular and powdery with yellowish-green surface pigment; another was cottony, woolly, and fluffy (Figure 3).

case_images: LCB preparation from mixed culture showing ruptured sporangium with developing vesicle in the same field in Figure 4.
case_images: PAS staining of tissue section showing thin, dichotomous hyphae intermingled with wide, irregular aseptate hyphae (100x).

case_images: The histopathological report endorsed our findings showing broad and aseptate hyphae suggestive of Zygomycetes sp. and thin, septate hyphae with dichotomous branching suggestive of Aspergillus sp. (Figure 5).
