Differentiation of indoor wood decay fungi with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry

Abstract MALDI-TOF MS differentiated mycelia within pairs each of the closely related indoor wood decay fungi Serpula lacrymans, S. himantioides, Coniophoraputena, C. marmorata, and Antrodia vaillantii, A. sinuosa. The method is thus suitable to identify unknown samples by spectrum comparison.
