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

Ecological guild

Required string input.

Validate and record a fungal ecological guild without collapsing broad pathogenic or parasitic guilds into an unsupported single trophic strategy. 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]

Guild

The resulting guild returned as a string.

• 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.

• CYP51 Azole Resistance Evidence Classifier

  Classify reported CYP51 resistance-marker and phenotypic susceptibility evidence without treating mutation count as a resistance score. Specific variants, fungal species, azole drug, and susceptibility results determine interpretation.

• Cap Margin Striation Classifier

  Classify an observed cap-margin striation pattern and explain the selected term without assigning an unsupported ordinal severity score.

• Chitin Assay Recorder

  Validate and record measured chitin as a percentage of dry weight without imposing universal bands that vary by material and assay method.
