Show HN: WOLS - Open standard for mushroom cultivation tracking
I built an open labeling standard for tracking mushroom specimens
through their lifecycle (from spore/culture to harvest). v1.1 adds
clonal generation tracking (distinct from filial/strain
generations) and conforms to JSON-LD for interoperability with
agricultural/scientific data systems. Spec (CC 4.0):
https://wemush.com/open-standard/specification Client libraries
(Apache 2.0): Python + CLI: pip install wols (also on GHCR)
TypeScript/JS: npm install @wemush/wols Background: Mycology has
fragmented data practices (misidentified species, inconsistent
cultivation logs, no shared vocabulary for tracking genetics across
generations). This is an attempt to fix that. Looking for feedback
from anyone working with biological specimen tracking, agricultural
data systems, or mycology.
