A novel dataset of annotated oyster mushroom images with environmental context for machine learning applications

mycolabadmin

Researchers have created a large collection of carefully labeled photographs of oyster mushrooms along with environmental data from the farm where they were grown. The dataset includes about 16,000 images showing mushrooms at different stages of growth, captured both day and night, along with measurements of temperature, humidity, and air quality. This resource is designed to help scientists and farmers develop computer programs that can automatically identify mushrooms, determine if they’re ready to harvest, and predict growth patterns.

Automatic classification of fungal-fungal interactions using deep learning models

Researchers developed a computer artificial intelligence system that can automatically analyze images of fungal interactions to identify strains that could help control harmful crop diseases. Instead of having humans manually examine thousands of fungal culture plates—a slow and subjective process—the AI system can now classify the interactions between beneficial fungi and plant pathogens with 95% accuracy. This breakthrough significantly speeds up the search for natural alternatives to synthetic pesticides, supporting sustainable agriculture and food security.

Deep learning application to hyphae and spores identification in fungal fluorescence images

Researchers developed an artificial intelligence system using two deep learning models to automatically identify fungal infections in microscope images. The system analyzes fluorescence-stained samples to detect fungal spores, hyphae, and mycelium with accuracy matching experienced doctors. This automated approach can significantly reduce the time clinicians spend examining samples and help prevent misdiagnosis, especially in hospitals with fewer specialist technicians.

Deep Ensemble Learning and Explainable AI for Multi-Class Classification of Earthstar Fungal Species

Scientists created an artificial intelligence system that can identify eight types of earthstar mushrooms from photographs with over 96% accuracy. These mushrooms look very similar to each other, making them difficult to tell apart by eye alone. The AI system not only identifies the mushrooms correctly but also shows which parts of the image it looked at to make its decision, making it transparent and trustworthy. This technology could help scientists monitor wild mushroom populations and improve sustainable farming practices.

Automatic classification of fungal-fungal interactions using deep learning models

Researchers developed an artificial intelligence system that automatically analyzes images of fungi growing together to identify which ones can fight off disease-causing fungi. Instead of having humans manually look at thousands of plate images, which is time-consuming and subjective, their computer vision system can classify the outcomes with 95% accuracy. This automation tool could help scientists quickly find beneficial fungi that could replace chemical pesticides in agriculture, supporting the goal of sustainable and more environmentally friendly farming.

Deep learning application to hyphae and spores identification in fungal fluorescence images

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed an artificial intelligence system that can automatically identify fungal infections in microscope images as accurately as experienced doctors. The system uses two different AI models working together to spot fungal spores, thread-like hyphae, and mycelium in fluorescence images. This technology could significantly reduce the time doctors spend analyzing samples and help ensure more accurate diagnoses, especially in hospitals with fewer experienced specialists.

Detection and classification of Shiitake mushroom fruiting bodies based on Mamba YOLO

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed an artificial intelligence system called Mamba-YOLO that can automatically detect and grade shiitake mushrooms for harvest. The system looks at images of mushrooms and identifies which ones are ready to pick based on their size, maturity, and surface texture characteristics. With 98.89% accuracy and fast processing speed of 8.3 milliseconds, this technology could help automate mushroom harvesting and reduce labor costs for farmers. The compact model design also allows it to be installed on robotic harvesting machines.

Hybrid Deep Learning Framework for High-Accuracy Classification of Morphologically Similar Puffball Species Using CNN and Transformer Architectures

mycolabadmin

Scientists developed an artificial intelligence system that can automatically identify eight different types of puffball mushrooms from photographs with 95% accuracy. The study compared five different AI models and found that a modern convolutional neural network called ConvNeXt-Base was the best at telling apart puffball species that look very similar to each other. This technology could help amateur mushroom enthusiasts, researchers, and nature conservationists accurately identify these fungi without needing a microscope or laboratory tests.
