πŸ„ FungiCLEF 2025 Benchmark

FungiCLEF 2025 is the fourth edition of the international challenge for few-shot fungi species recognition and is part of the LifeCLEF Lab and FGVC Workshop at CVPR. In 2025, the benchmark advances few-shot learning for rare wild fungi, where all classes have only 1–4 labeled examples.

See the official Kaggle competition for full details, data, and results.
