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

Microconidia count

Required integer input.

Macroconidia count

Required integer input.

Classify the dominant conidial form and compute the micro-to-macroconidia ratio. 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]

Dominant form

The resulting dominant form returned as a string.

Micro/macro ratio

The resulting micro/macro ratio returned as a number.

• 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.

• Lichen Growth Form

  Classify a lichen as crustose, foliose, or fruticose without assigning a universal growth rate; rates vary substantially among species and environments.

• 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.

• Amyloid Wall Classifier

  Classify a spore wall iodine reaction as a capitalized wall classification.
