Table 4 Mycelial visual features and descriptions.
From: A Mycelium Dataset with Edge-Precise Annotation for Semantic Segmentation
Hyphal features | Description |
|---|---|
Uniform density distribution | Biomass density remains even from center to edge. |
Concentric density zonation | Alternating dense-sparse rings record periodic growth pulses. |
Centripetal densification | Inner core compacts and darkens as mycelium growth. |
Irregular edges | Edge shows lobes, waves, or serrations. |
Peripheral densification | Thick, active growth band forms at outer rim. |
Hyphal pigmentation | Pigment deposition produces yellow-to-dark brown coloring. |
Heterogeneous density distribution | Patchy high- and low-density clusters across mycelium. |
Wrinkling | Surface folds or ridges from uneven aerial-hypha shrinkage. |
Rhizomorph | Rope-like cords carry nutrients and anchor mycelium. |
Spiral stratification | Concentric bands follow outward helicoidal spiral. |
Internal concavity | Central depression from autolysis and water loss. |
