Zygomycosis is the broadest term to refer to infections caused by bread mold fungi of the zygomycota phylum. However because zygomycota has been identified as polyphyletic and is not included in modern fungal classification systems the diseases that Zygomycosis can refer to are better called by their specific names: mucormycosis (after Mucorales) phycomycosis (after Phycomycetes) and basidiobolomycosis (after Basidiobolus).
