Poisonous Mushroom Detection Using Graph Neural Networks

This study delves into the use of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) for the classification of poisonous and edible mushrooms based on image data, aiming to address the limitations of manual identification methods. Three GNN architectures, Graph Convolutional Network (GCN), GraphSAGE, and Graph Isomorphism Network (GIN), are examined, with a comparison of the Adam and Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) optimizers within each. The results underscore GNNs' effectiveness in discerning toxic mushrooms by capturing nuanced pixel relationships, offering a valuable contribution to the fields of biology and toxicology, with practical implications for mushroom toxicity prevention.
