Basidiospores from gelatinous fungi that are mostly outdoor in origin but can indicate chronically wet wood indoors.
Jelly fungi produce translucent to rubbery fruiting bodies and release smooth, pale basidiospores. The spores are often grouped in broad screening results rather than identified to a single genus in routine indoor air sampling.
Most sources are outdoors on decaying logs and branches. Indoors, they are uncommon but may appear where cellulose-rich framing remains wet long enough for wood-decay fungi to establish and fruit.
For most occupants these spores are treated as allergenic or irritant particles. They are generally less associated with aggressive indoor colonization than classic water-damage molds, but still signal moisture conditions that need correction.
Indoor detection usually points to prolonged dampness and possible wood decay rather than a recent short-term leak. Moisture source control and inspection of concealed wood assemblies are typically recommended.
