Overall Overview
Total pollen was unchanged, holding steady at 2, with no net movement across pollen categories. Total mold increased by 666, driven by gains in a few large mold groups that more than offset declines elsewhere.
Tree, Grass, and Weed Pollen
- Tree pollen was flat overall, with Cedar up by 2 offsetting Elm down by 2.
- Grass pollen remained at zero.
- Weed pollen remained at zero across all species.
Mold Spores
- The increase was led by a large rise in Ascomycetes (+699), the single biggest contributor to the day-over-day change.
- Basidiomycetes (+104) also added meaningfully to the total.
- Smaller increases were seen in Smuts/Myxomycete (+6) and a few minor species.
- Offsetting these gains were declines in Cladosporium (-115) and Algae (-18), along with smaller pullbacks across several low-volume categories.
Key Takeaways
- Pollen levels were stable, with only minor internal shifts among tree species.
- Mold levels moved higher, driven primarily by a rebound in Ascomycetes.
- Declines in Cladosporium and Algae reduced, but did not reverse, the overall mold increase.
