The species identification of Macrofungi, i.e. mushrooms, has always been a challenging task. There are still a large number of poisonous mushrooms that have not been found, which poses a risk to people's life. However, the traditional identification method requires a large number of experts with knowledge in the field of taxonomy for manual identification, it is not only inefficient but also consumes a lot of manpower and capital costs. In this paper, we propose a new model based on attention-mechanism, MushroomNet, which applies the lightweight network MobileNetV3 as the backbone model, combined with the attention structure proposed by us, and has achieved excellent performance in the mushroom recognition task. On the public dataset, the test accuracy of the MushroomNet model has reached 83.9%, and on the local dataset, the test accuracy has reached 77.4%. The proposed attention mechanisms well focused attention on the bodies of mushroom image for mixed channel attention and the attention heat maps visualized by Grad-CAM. Further, in this study, genetic distance was added to the mushroom image recognition task, the genetic distance was used as the representation space, and the genetic distance between each pair of mushroom species in the dataset was used as the embedding of the genetic distance representation space, so as to predict the image distance and species. identify. We found that using the MES activation function can predict the genetic distance of mushrooms very well, but the accuracy is lower than that of SoftMax. The proposed MushroomNet was demonstrated it shows great potential for automatic and online mushroom image and the proposed automatic procedure would assist and be a reference to traditional mushroom classification.
