The download script gives full control:

  • Choose any subset (Full, Mini, Few-shot)
  • Select image resolution (300, 500, 720, fullsize)
  • Download only the modalities you want (images, masks, satellite, climate...)

Prerequisites:

  • Python 3.7+

  • wget utility

  • macOS: brew install wget

  • Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install wget
  • Windows: wget for Windows or use WSL

Example: Download “Mini” subset at 300px:

cd dataset
python download.py --metadata --images --subset "m" --size "300" --save_path "./"

This downloads metadata and the FungiTastic-Mini images at 300px to your chosen directory.

Example: Download segmentation masks, climate, and satellite data:

cd dataset
python download.py --masks --climatic --satellite --save_path "./"
