Abstract

Aeromycological sampling during 2003 and 2004 in the atmosphere of the university campus in Madrid, showed a greater presence of spores during the spring (April–June) and from August to November. Of the groups of spores identified, conidiospores accounted for the greatest percentage (49.5%), followed by teliospores (18%), basidiospores
(15.5%) and ascospores (8%). Seventy spore types were identified in 2003 and 83 in 2004, the most abundant of which were: Cladosporium cladosporioides (30.2%), Ustilago (18%), Cladosporium herbarum (14.5%), Coprinus (6.9%), Aspergillaceae (2.1%), Lepthosphaeria (1.7%), Pleospora (1.5%) and Bovista (1.4%).
