    Highly inaccurate search. 99% of the time I try to identify a mushroom, the wrong ones show up and I have to search for them myself through the database. Although I know not all mushrooms are in the database, the search option is still inaccurate for the the ones that are in the database. I am honestly not pleased with the app and I wish I could have a refund.

    It’s not possible to edit a mushroom identity, if it’s not in the predefined set of possibilities. The app identified a destroying angel as a stinkhorn, and wouldn’t let me edit the details. Also can’t update the location if you upload the photo somewhere other than where you took it.
  • Not great for identifying, but...

    This app does not do a good job identifying mushrooms from your photographs. In fact it has never correctly identified anything I’ve submitted a search for. But it does give good descriptions and pictures of many species found in my area.

    I have been cross referencing with my mushroom groups on FB. Very useful...don’t trust a mushroom unless absolutely sure.
  • Super cool!

    I was excited to try something that might narrow down some of my unknown mushrooms and let me record my locations, but after trying it out with the known species, I was very disappointed in how inaccurate the App’s photo identification is. I used multiple photos of the same species (different angles and lighting) to see if a better quality photo would make a difference in accuracy. It misidentified every photo and species except the Chicken of the Woods and black trumpets. It could not ID Hen of the Woods, chanterelles (2 sp), painted bolete, Old Man of the Woods, Dryad’s Saddle, and several other inedible species, each with multiple photo ID attempts. Also, the app froze every time a photo was deleted from the photo ID list. As for the location record, I could only record the current location while using the app, it would not let me pin a location for a previously found mushroom, not helpful for places with no cell and/or gps service. Bottom line, if you’re spending money, get a regular ID app if you want something reliable and DEFINITELY don’t rely on this App for edibles vs poisonous varieties!!!
  • In general, I am happy

    In general, I am happy. Of course, not all mushrooms are in the guide (this is impossible), but more than in other similar apps and in most books. Certainly not all my photos are recognized by 100% correctly, but in my experience, in most cases, the correct answer among the top 3-4 in the list of the most similar. This is not bad i think. So I will wait for spring and check it all in the forest. I wish the developers not to stop adding new species and improve the accuracy of recognition.
  • Do not buy this.

    I have used nothing but very clear photos and have had ZERO correct identifications. Useless app.
