Fungal spores linger as pollen season ends!
Unsettled autumn weather will accompany us throughout the week. With this, the pollen season comes to an end. The flowering periods of ragweed and neophytic mugwort species have largely ceased. Only fungal spores (Cladosporium, Epicoccum, and Alternaria) continue to reach moderate concentrations and may still cause symptoms for some time.

Video Highlight: Ragweed (Ambrosia) pollen from the plant to the microscope slide
After activation, data will be sent to YouTube. Further information here: Data protection
Here you can see the process of embedding ragweed (Ambrosia) pollen. A panicle that is already flowering is tested in the field for pollen release and packaged. In the laboratory, individual flowers are then embedded on a microscope slide and the ragweed (Ambrosia) pollen is examined under the light microscope.
