In this study, we identified a novel six-segmented polymycovirus, <i>Talaromyces amestolkiae</i> polymycovirus 1 (TaPmV-1). Each of the double-stranded (ds) RNA segments of TaPmV-1 contained a single open reading frame, and the proteins encoded by dsRNA1, dsRNA2, dsRNA3, and dsRNA 5 shared significant amino acid identities of 56, 40, 47, and 43%, respectively, with the corresponding proteins of <i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i> polymycovirus-1(AfuPmV-1). DsRNA1, dsRNA3, and dsRNA5 of TaPmV-1 encoded an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), a viral methyltransferase, and a PAS-rich protein, respectively. The functions of the proteins encoded by dsRNA2, dsRNA4, and dsRNA6 have not been elucidated. Comparison of the virus-infected strain LSH3 with virus-cured strain LSHVF revealed that infection with TaPmV-l may reduce the production of red pigments and induce the clustering of fungal sclerotia. Furthermore, transcriptomic analyses demonstrated that infection with TaPmV-l downregulated the expression of transcripts related to metabolism, and may correlate with the reduced production of red pigments and clustering of sclerotia in <i>T. amestolkiae</i>.
