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

Maximum growth NaCl (%)

Required number input.

Moderately osmotolerant minimum (%)

Required number input.

Osmotolerant minimum (%)

Required number input.

Classify a maximum growth-supporting NaCl concentration using caller-supplied boundaries appropriate to the organism, medium, and incubation protocol. 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]

Osmotolerance class

The resulting osmotolerance class 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.

• Sclerotium Size Class

  Classify sclerotium diameter using caller-supplied size boundaries appropriate to the species and measurement protocol.

• pH Preference Classifier

  Classify an observed optimum growth pH using caller-supplied boundaries; ecological pH preference labels do not have universal numeric cutoffs.

• Water Activity Growth Classifier

  Classify an observed minimum growth water activity with explicitly supplied laboratory or reference cutoffs; water-activity terminology is not governed by one universal set of numerical boundaries.
