Fungal Spore Identification Course

Online training for people who want to build practical skills in airborne fungal spore sampling, identification, enumeration, reporting, and data interpretation.

Airborne fungal spore analysis is a specialized skill. Spore trap samples often contain limited structures, overlapping spore types, debris, and non-fungal particles, making accurate recognition and reporting challenging.

This course is designed to help participants better understand how fungal spores are collected, prepared, counted, identified, categorized, and reported in non-viable airborne fungal spore analysis.

Who Is This Course For?

This course may be useful for laboratory analysts, environmental consultants, industrial hygienists, microbiologists, indoor air quality professionals, and companies considering in-house fungal spore analysis.

What You Will Gain

• A practical foundation in airborne fungal spore identification
• Better understanding of common indoor and outdoor spore types
• Knowledge of spore trap sampling and sample preparation concepts
• Improved confidence in counting and categorizing spores
• Understanding of airborne spore concentration calculations
• Better ability to interpret fungal spore data with appropriate caution
• A certificate of completion after successful completion

Important Note

This course provides practical training in fungal spore identification and data interpretation. Accurate fungal spore analysis also requires practice, suitable microscopy, quality control, reference materials, and professional judgement.

Fungal spore results should not be interpreted from numbers alone. Interpretation should consider the sampling objective, indoor and outdoor comparison, building conditions, visible observations, moisture history, debris level, and method limitations.
