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

Sector count

Required integer input.

Flag culture sectoring when one or more distinct sectors are counted on a plate. 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]

Sectoring detected

The resulting sectoring detected returned as a boolean.

Sector count

The resulting sector count returned as an integer.

• 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.

• Chlamydospore Position

  Record the position of chlamydospores on the hypha and whether they are present.

• FKS Hotspot Screen

  Flag an observed FKS hotspot variant for echinocandin-resistance review without treating the molecular screen as a definitive susceptibility result.

• Colonization Days Estimate

  Estimate grain-spawn colonization time with an explicitly supplied linear-model coefficient; actual time also depends on species, grain, inoculum distribution, temperature, and culture health.
