Abstract
A method is provided for identifying a hyphal fungus in a sample by similarity comparisons between a mass spectrum of the fungus and reference spectra. The method includes growing fresh hyphae without any adhering contact to surfaces as to form a mycelium with undifferentiated hyphae cells. A sample is prepared from the hyphae cells, and a mass spectrum is acquired of the hyphae cell sample. The mass spectrum is matched with at least one reference spectrum.
