Losses caused by fungi include general deterioration of the grain, loss in germination and dry matter, heating, and the development of mustiness. Thermophilic or heat tolerant fungi can push grains mass temperatures beyond the range of insect survival. Medical evidence shows that mouldy grain or hay is the cause of farmers lung disease. Under favourable temperature and moisture conditions, some fungi produce mycotoxins. These toxins cause different animal diseases including abortions, reduced fertility and general ill-health. They also make grain unfit for human consumption. The production of mycotoxins is more common in warmer humid climates than in areas with a dry climate. 1, record 12, English, - thermophilic%20fungi

Sur le plan médical, on tient le grain ou le foin moisi pour responsable de l'asthme du fermier. Dans des conditions favorables de température et d’humidité, certaines mycètes produisent des mycotoxines. Ces toxines sont la cause de différentes maladies animales, y compris les avortements, la diminution de la fertilité et un état de santé généralement déficient. Elles rendent également le grain impropre à la consommation humaine.
