Mycorrhization Screening
White Glove Mycorrhization Consulting
Identify unknown species with confidence using DNA barcoding.
Shave a section of the mushroom from it’s surface. It should be at least the size of a dime. Air dry the sample for 24-48 hours. If you are submitting multiple samples, make sure you label and track the samples individually.
Fill out the data sheet, and send one copy of the data sheet with the sample. You should keep a copy for your records.
State of the art mycorrhization analysis. Standard metrics for each sample include:
Total Mycorrhization Rate
Target Species Mycorrhization Rate
Contamination Rate
Potential Pathogens
Most mycorrhization screening can target only a limited number of species, and identify only a limited number of potential contaminants at a time. Using state of the art molecular and microscopy techniques, I provide mycorrhization rate, and identify all fungal species in the sample, including contaminants and pathogens that may be present.
No other screening service offers this comprehensive data.
This is especially important if you are
Concerned about contaminant taxa in your orchard
Establishing mycorrhization with non-standard truffles (for example, newly described species)
Establishing mycorrhization for non-truffle species (for example, porcini)
Monitoring mycorrhization in newly established nursery systems
I recommend to submitting 5 % of new planting stock, or at least 5 seedlings per planting to ensure representativeness
If you are submitting soil samples from an existing orchard, follow the sampling instructions in this video. Otherwise, follow these steps:
Cut the stem of the plant at the surface of the soil to remove excess biomass.
Place the root ball in a ziplock bag.
Ship samples using 1-2 day shipping.
Your confirmation email will include an invoice number, and the shipping address. Label your samples with the invoice number for lab tracking.
EXCLUSIONS:
No samples are currently accepted from USDA regulated counties. Check if you are in a regulated county here.
Need to do a field survey of your mycorrhizal fungi? I have you covered.
The mobile root lab is a state of the art lab, designed by Dietrich based on over a decade experience using sequencing technology to understand soil fungi.
The field day comes with a custom sampling design, tailoring sampling to your specific field conditions in order to create a detailed map of fungal abundance, diversity, and productivity. This analysis comes with unlimited microscopy and imaging, and up to 24 samples for sequencing. Additional sample bundles can be added on later.
Reach out for special circumstances (educational, or bundled group rates).
This service includes 24 DNA samples for QPCR and DNA sequencing analyses.

This is the Wednesday Section of the Mycoforestry Design course covering the essential knowledge for integrating mycorrhizal fungi into forest, farm, and production design frameworks. While Arbuscular and Ericoid mycorrhizal ecology is covered, this course is geared towards integrating Ectomycorrhizal fungi that are high value culinary species into other enterprises.
This course will meet online from 7 pm - 9 pm ET in May.
The link for the course meetings will be emailed at least one week before the course starts.
