This project is a proof-of-concept for the task of identifying fungi species from digital images using deep learning. In this preliminary exploration of the idea, I trained a model to correctly classify and differentiate between the Amanita muscaria and Xylodon raduloides species of fungi. The final deployed model performs with an accuracy of roughly 90%. I created a flask application to serve the model on the web. It is hosted on the Google cloud platform and can be accessed at the following link.
