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

Diameter (mm)

Required number input.

Microsclerotium maximum (mm)

Required number input.

Medium minimum (mm)

Required number input.

Large minimum (mm)

Required number input.

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

Sclerotium size class

The resulting sclerotium size 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.

• NaCl Limit Lookup

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

• Mantle Thickness Rater

  Grade ectomycorrhizal mantle thickness using thin and thick boundaries supplied for the host, fungus, tissue section, and study protocol.

• Humidity Compliance

  Check measured fruiting relative humidity against caller-supplied minimum and maximum targets appropriate to the cultivated species and fruiting stage.
