The Platform of Filamentous Fungi for the Future

We unlock the untapped potential of fungi for a healthier and sustainable future.

Production & Supply

of natural culture material containing filamentous fungi-molds and their metabolites intended for research or isolation and purification of target metabolites. Includes mycotoxins for standards and experiments.

Cultural materials with target mycotoxins

The product is a powder consisting of a natural matrix (maize, rice, or wheat), an inactivated producing fungus, and a defined amount of target fungal metabolites – mycotoxins. All products are homogenized, analyzed, packaged and dry-heat sterilized prior to shipment.

Customer Benefits

  • Ready-to-use – uniform distribution of metabolites
  • No additional chemical additives required
  • Lower toxicity compared to pure metabolites
  • Natural matrix content represents real conditions
  • Stable and long-lasting under dry storage

Available Target Mycotoxins

  • ALT+ – Alternaria mycotoxins
  • CIT – Citrinin
  • DON – Deoxynivalenol
  • ENN / BEAU – Enniatins / Beauvericin mix
  • FUMs – Fumonisins (sum of FB1 + FB2 + FB3 + FB4)
  • OTA – Ochratoxin A
  • T-2 / HT-2 – A-trichothecenes
  • ZON – Zearalenone

Upon request to office@mycolab.at, an individual quotation will be sent to you.
Allproducts are delivered with a Quality Control (QC) Certificate.
In addition, Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are provided with each shipment to ensure comprehensive information on safe handling and storage.

Mycological Consulting & Services

offers phenotypic and molecular identification of fungi from food, feed, or air (e.g. indoor), as well as human and animal fungal pathogens. Consulting myco-toxicological, environmental and health related issues

Mycological Analysis of Fungi in Homes and Indoor Areas

Analysis of Indoor Air
(Plate Sedimentation Method)

The method of this investigation is known as non-volumetric air sampling (also called gravitational settling method). This method provides preliminary, but also qualitative information. The data obtained can be very helpful in obtaining an overall view of air quality and navigate to further recommendations.

Please see the guidance sheet here
and instruction video here

Analysis of Surfaces
(Sellotape Preparation)

The method of this investigation is based on pressing the adhesive side of transparent sellotape onto a suspected surface, such as a wall. A sample prepared in this way then contains mycelium and spores caught on the adhesive part of the tape, which are then observed under a microscope and distinguished from contaminants and inorganic particles, or arthropods (e.g. mites).

Research and Development

of biotechnologically prospective filamentous fungi, including a unique library of fungal strains for further commercialization via license-fee model. Three main areas of potential application are explored:
(A) Remediation of waste materials (keratin, cellulose, lignin, plastic, rubber)
(B) Plant bio-stimulation
(C) Bio-protection (antimicrobial)

Three main areas of potential application are explored:

  • Remediation of waste materials (keratin, cellulose, lignin, plastic, rubber)
  • Plant bio-stimulation
  • Bio-protection (antimicrobial)

MycoLAB RL GmbH R&D focuses especially on the biotechnologically unexplored onygenalean soil- borne fungi. These fungi are often associated with keratin and other complex molecule decomposition and are rich in metabolite potential.
