Abstract

The authors describe a new form of mushroom workers' lung after assessing the clinical situation and also the results of an immunological study. The case was related to the mushroom Poria megalopora. A new antigen has been identified and also its domiciliary origin, thus the ubiquitous nature of the antigen contributes to the interest of the case reported.
