This study presents a comprehensive analysis to show that locally emitted fungal spores can serve as ice nucleation particles at high temperatures at a site in the European sub-Arctic. The analysis of the fluorescent aerosols is in-depth and convincing. This study provides diverse methods to consolidate the statements, including chemical, biological, and meteorological techniques. I believe that it is worth publishing in this journal when the following issues are resolved. Overall, I suggest a major revision based on the comments below.
