Our common denominator is bronchiectasis. That's where a lot of the "commonness" ends. We are all different. Some produce a lot more than you, some less, and some have difficulty producing anything at all. And to make it even more interesting, everyday is different!

This link and chart might help.

I have bronchiectasis, no fungus or mac nor other. I'm on 25mg Brinsupri. In the morning I produce about 10 to 15 mL. Often less. It's yellowish, pale yellow, and goes to white then clear. That's when I know to stop airway clearance. Your description sounds within the "normal" spectrum for bronchiectasis. Hopefully your airway clearance is helping to clear your fungal infection. Are you on any medication?
