Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Posted August 9, 2006 hi tazin, I coughed up a lot of gunk too. started as brown and black in green mucus. later got to where mucus was clear and slimey and globs of little white balls. hard to know if it was just from aspergillus mold, because several others were present and no telling what all was in this house, but i lost about 70% of my lung compasity while there and got a lot of it back after getting out and coughing all this stuff out of my lungs. still cough some up once in a while, not near as bad. i think its considered fungal balls. aflatoxins are considered carcenogenic to the lungs. farmers are often adviced to were certain mask while combining corn because of the high aflatoxins in it. seams drought can make it worse in crops from the stress. here a few links on aspergillus. talks a little about coughing up mucus and fungal balls, i see if I can round up that site with the lung biospy again, know it has a lot of info. on aspergillus.
