Commercial lab that can test samples for positive ID of mycoviruses and other contaminants? * 2
    #27758463 - 05/01/22 07:39 AM (1 year, 8 months ago)

Is there a lab that one could send some agar samples to for some kind of professional high quality testing for various piggy back contaminants and mycoviruses?

Is that a thing?

Like could they do DNA tests and see what up pretty easy or what?

Bump. Anyone?

Or I suppose you could do some pcr testing and compare result to genbank?

For anyone interested, I found a good resource for identifying contamination with pcr:

I remember that Sporeworks had some fine print on their PE page a while back about finding out that they had a mycovirus in their line. I'm guessing they found someone who could test, maybe?

Do you know anything more about this?

This is from their site currently
Comments: Spores are from a source culture subjected to a 3+ week heat therapy regime designed to eliminate viral infections in Agaricus bisporus. Although there was no "hard" evidence that the Penis Envy strain was ever infected with a virus, the therapy appears to have had some positive effects. Unfortunately, spore production is not noticeably improved.

What does this mean and are they alluding to the idea that there "was" problems?  I am no expert but, finding "hard" evidence of a mycovirus I assume would not be easy, but things not fruiting as they should would be much easier to spot.  Is there any more info on this or has anyone talked to them?
