Concept overview

The proposed ecosystem looks like this:

• Step 1: go on a wild mushroom survey trip
• Step 2: observe and take pictures
• Step 3: classification
  • option 1: with a Guide Book (immediately)
  • option 2: with a machine learning app (offline, immediately)
  • option 3: with a machine learning app (in a batch at home later)
• Step 4: share what you learn with the world!

Concept in action

Step 1: Go on a Wild Mushroom Survey Trip

1 - hmm where are you mushroom…

2 - Ah ha! Spotted a wild mushroom

Step 2: Observe and take pictures

1 - What a beautify mushroom. OK obligatory pictures…

2 - Take more pictures…

Step 3: Classification

Classification Option 1: with a Guide Book (immediately)

Human: Hmmm… I think it is a (fill in the blanks)

Classification Option 2: with a machine learning app (offline, immediately)

Computer says: hmmm… I think it is 99% likely that it is a (fill in the blanks).

Classification Option 3: with a machine learning app (in a batch at home later)

This may be either online or offline.

1 - Go home, upload a batch of pictures to a computer

2 - computer says: these are the likely mushroom specie predictions

3 - computer says: you want to know more? Here are some more details. Click links to see other similar mushrooms of the same specie

4 - computer says: here are other similar mushroom of the same specie

Step 4 - Share what you learn with the world (optional)

User may share what they’ve learn via:

• social media
• fungai.org
• etc.
