My wife recently had a series of allergy tests.  We live in France so 
the results are in French which makes interpretation a little difficult. 
:-)

Under the heading "pollens of graminaceous plants" there is "phéoles des 
prés" for which she has a moderate sensibility.  I have tried to track 
it down on the Internet and the nearest I can find is phaeolus which is 
apparently a fungus which lives on trees.

Has anyone any idea what could be a graminaceous plant whose name might 
render in French as "phéole"?  The "prés" part of the name means 
"meadows".  Would the pollen of this plant have any relevance to a 
chronic asthma condition?

TIA

I think a 'phaeole' is a French mushroom or fungus.
