This carrier in low-density-polyethylene pouches could supposrt up to 1 x 10[sup6] spores per g material for at least six months. The storage of charcoal packets at constant (28 ± 1 ºC) / ambient (14-39 ºC) temperature or under aerated/non-aerated conditions did no influence the fungal spore viability.
