1. Large-scale fungal identification, culture, and
production.
A major technical barrier hampering the study of fungal sensitization is
the lack of stable, well-defined fungal material in sufficient amounts.
A further issue is the high diversity of fungal spore morphology and
subsequent difficulties in identification, which is more complex when
compared with pollen. Involving highly specialized laboratories and
networks with expertise in the discovery, identification, and optimal
culture of environmental fungal genera and fungal allergy investigation
is needed.
