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

Extension (mm)

Required number input.

Days elapsed

Required integer input.

Record the daily extension rate of a rhizomorph from measured extension over elapsed days. 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]

Extension rate (mm/day)

The resulting extension rate 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.

• Flush Interval Recorder

  Validate and record the number of elapsed days between cultivation flushes without applying species-independent timing categories.

• Armillaria Annual Spread

  Estimate average annual radial spread of an Armillaria genet from measured radius extension over a whole-year observation interval.

• 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.
