      I have attached a file containing logical rules for mushrooms. It should be helpful for other people since only in the last year I have seen about 10 papers analyzing this dataset and obtaining quite complex rules. We will try to contribute other results later.

      With best regards, Wlodek Duch

      Logical rules for the mushroom data sets.

      Logical rules given below seem to be the simplest possible for the mushroom dataset and therefore should be treated as benchmark results.

      Disjunctive rules for poisonous mushrooms, from most general to most specific:

      P_1) odor=NOT(almond.OR.anise.OR.none) 120 poisonous cases missed, 98.52% accuracy

      P_2) spore-print-color=green 48 cases missed, 99.41% accuracy

      P_3) odor=none.AND.stalk-surface-below-ring=scaly.AND. (stalk-color-above-ring=NOT.brown) 8 cases missed, 99.90% accuracy

      P_4) habitat=leaves.AND.cap-color=white 100% accuracy
      
      

      Rule P_4) may also be

      P_4') population=clustered.AND.cap_color=white

      These rule involve 6 attributes (out of 22). Rules for edible mushrooms are obtained as negation of the rules given above, for example the rule:

      odor=(almond.OR.anise.OR.none).AND.spore-print-color=NOT.green

      gives 48 errors, or 99.41% accuracy on the whole dataset.

      Several slightly more complex variations on these rules exist, involving other attributes, such as gill_size, gill_spacing, stalk_surface_above_ring, but the rules given above are the simplest we have found.

4. Relevant Information: This data set includes descriptions of hypothetical samples corresponding to 23 species of gilled mushrooms in the Agaricus and Lepiota Family (pp. 500-525). Each species is identified as definitely edible, definitely poisonous, or of unknown edibility and not recommended. This latter class was combined with the poisonous one. The Guide clearly states that there is no simple rule for determining the edibility of a mushroom; no rule like leaflets three, let it be'' for Poisonous Oak and Ivy.
