Abstract
A survey of atmospheric fungal spores was carried out in north west of Amman, Jordan for a whole year (June 1987 — May 1988), using a Burkard Seven day recording Volumetric Spore Trap. A total of 14 families and 38 genera, belonging to three classes were recorded. Daily and monthly counts of fungal spores were carried out and a spore calendar was plotted for the first time in the study area. The calendar showed that Ascomycetes were highly abundant between January and May, while maximum trapped basidiospores occurred between April and August. In contrast, Deuteromycetes were most common in October.
