Donated on 1/29/2023

DeFungi is a dataset for direct mycological examination of microscopic fungi image. The images are from superficial fungal infections caused by yeasts, moulds, or dermatophyte fungi. The images have been manually labelled into five classes and curated with a subject matter expert assistance. The images have been cropped with automated algorithms to produce the final dataset.
