Use this mycology utility to record or consistently classify a stated fungal morphology, culture, ecology, assay, cultivation, or microscopy observation for later expert review.

Fan cycles

Required integer input.

Observation hours

Required integer input.

Target fan cycles per hour

Required number input.

Compute fan cycles per hour and compare the rate with a caller-supplied target; a fan cycle is not an air exchange unless airflow and chamber volume establish that equivalence. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Fan cycles per hour

The resulting fan cycles per hour returned as a number.

Meets cycle target

The resulting meets cycle target returned as a boolean.

• Fungal identification and susceptibility interpretation depend on specimen quality, developmental stage, medium, temperature, microscopy, molecular evidence, validated breakpoints, and taxonomic context. Pattern-based output is not an edibility, toxicity, infection, or treatment determination.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Preserve images, specimen and culture metadata, method and reference standard, use multiple characters or molecular confirmation, and refer clinical or poisoning questions to qualified services.

• Amatoxin Cap Assay

  Classify a reported amatoxin assay result as a potential lethal-toxin risk. Non-detection does not establish that a mushroom is edible or free of other toxins, and this tool does not replace laboratory or poison-control interpretation.

• Basidia Spored Checker

  Check whether the observed spore count per basidium is four. The tool does not infer sterigma count because aborted or immature spores can make that count differ from observed spores.

• Basidium Proportion Reference Check

  Calculate a basidium length-to-width ratio and compare it with a caller-adjustable reference range. Ratio alone does not establish club-shaped morphology, which also depends on the outline and apical widening.
