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

Optimal pH

Required number input.

Acidophilic maximum

Required number input.

Acidotolerant maximum

Required number input.

Neutrophilic maximum

Required number input.

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

pH preference class

The resulting ph preference 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.

• 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.

• NaCl Limit Lookup

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

• Hartig Net Grade

  Classify Hartig-net penetration depth using study-specific superficial and deep boundaries supplied for the host, fungus, and sectioning method.
