Short summary
Fungi are key component of the air we breathe. They travel short and long distances, influencing ecosystems, agriculture and human health worldwide. Using advanced DNA techniques, we monitored airborne fungi in a European floodplain forest and linked their presence to climatic conditions. We found that temperature can shape airborne fungal communities, including the presence of allergenic and pathogenic fungi. This highlights the importance of long-term monitoring under climate change scenarios.
