Mucormycosis is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

Effects

• Gives Isaac a 25% chance to shoot a spore that, in addition to dealing damage, will stick to enemies.
  • The chance is not affected by Luck.
• Spores will explode 2.5 seconds after sticking to an enemy, dealing 5 damage to and poisoning nearby enemies and firing four more spores in a cross pattern.
  • Spores produced from Isaac's spores have homing.
• This item belongs to the Fun Guy set. Collecting three items from this set will transform Isaac into a walking mushroom.

Notes

• Items such as Brimstone and Technology 2 will apply spores to enemies as well, despite the absence of tears.

Synergies

• Gigante Bean: Spore explosions count as farts, and as such are increased in size.
• Godhead: Godhead's aura expands as the spore tear grows on enemies.
• Lodestone: Magnetized enemies draw other enemies to them, greatly increasing the chance that spores spread to other enemies.
• Lost Contact: Stuck tears will block projectiles shot by attached enemies, crippling or even stopping their ability to shoot projectiles entirely.

Interactions

• Spindown Dice: Rerolls into the full Mom's Shovel, making The Forgotten's unlock easier.
• Dr. Fetus: No effect.
• Epic Fetus: No effect.
• Mom's Knife: No effect.

Trivia

• Mucormycosis is a fungal infection caused by fungi in the order Mucorales.
• In Antibirth, this item had a similar effect to that of Contagion.
