This is intended to be used with reports from Thorne or Xenogene. A shotgun microbiome report is needed that reports Fungi. Most microbiome do not report fungi in detail.

Most microbiome reports use 16s technology that do not report on fungi. Fungi produces mycotoxins

  “We also observed that the relative abundance of the fungal genus Candida was more than double in the autistic than neurotypical subjects,”
• See also: CDC provides a list of known fungal diseases: Types of Fungal Diseases.

Fungi are listed from lowest taxonomy level upwards.

• Fungi: Agaricales / Agaricomycetes – Eating button and baby bella before the test may result in a false high.
• Fungi: Aspergillus / Aspergillaceae / Eurotiales
• Fungi: Chaetomiaceae / Sordariales / Sordariomycetes
• Fungi: Clavicipitaceae / Hypocreales / Sordariomycetes
• Fungi: Debaryomycetaceae / Saccharomycetales / Saccharomycetes
• Fungi: Exophiala / Herpotrichiellaceae / Chaetothyriales – Loves Dishwashers!
• Fungi: Leotiomycetes / Ascomycota
• Fungi: Malassezia / Malasseziaceae / Malasseziales / Malasseziomycetes / Basidiomycota – associated with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Crohn’s
• Fungi: Nectriaceae Fusarium / Hypocreales / Sordariomycetes – Loves garlic!
• Fungi: Pleosporales / Dothideomycetes
• Fungi: Saccharomycetaceae / Saccharomycetales / Saccharomycetes
• Fungi: Synchytrium / Synchytriaceae / Synchytriales / Chytridiomycetes / Chytridiomycota
• Fungi: Trichosporonaceae / Trichosporonales / Tremellomycetes / Basidiomycota

CAUTION: Some test results may reflect foods (mushrooms) or supplements that you are consuming and could result in false high levels.

As a personal note, I am a high function autism; the first three years of my life I lived in an area known as “Asthma flats” and this early life exposure to high level of fungi may have been a factor for me.
