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

Association confirmed

Required boolean input.

Fungus genus

Required string input.

Host genus

Required string input.

Validate the structure of a fungus-host genus pair and record whether the association has been confirmed by the caller's evidence source. 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]

Pair validated

The resulting pair validated returned as a boolean.

Pairing note

The resulting pairing note 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.

• Pseudohyphae Discriminator

  Validate and record whether the observed morphology is budding yeast only, pseudohyphal, or true hyphal.

• Taste Entry Checker

  Validate and record an existing taste observation without assigning an arbitrary numeric severity code; never taste an unidentified or potentially toxic fungus.

• 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.
