About this app

Identify Fungi Fast with Shroomify. A must for mushroom identification.

Mushroom ID made easy, by selecting the characteristics of the fungi you would like to identify the in-app algorithms work out the most likely matches.

You can also view the 'Top 20' of the month which lists all the common Fungi you can find in the month you are in.

If you are a keen mushroom forager / hunter then there's lots of useful info, including the edibility of all mushrooms listed and a list of good edible mushrooms that grow in your country.

The app comes pre-loaded with over 400 common Fungi and over 1000 images.

When you open the app your position is used to load a relevant dataset to show just the mushrooms that occur in your country or region. Graphs and country ranking are also shown for each individual fungi to help you see how common it is and when in the year it is most common.

Ratings and reviews

As accurate as can be expected from a photo. Good info provided to help confirm identification. Excellent and info on each species!... (range, habitat, spore color, idenifying traits, etc) Responsible warnings on look-alikes and on the need to be sure before consuming a foraging find. It's definitely a useful tool.

I actually really like this app. The pictures are great and information is also great to read. There are a lot of species already but I do think it could use a bunch more, I'm sure more are constantly being added though. I just don't really understand what the premium feature is you get when you pay for it...just more pictures? Is there anything else you get? Great app though.

Needs a 'back' button. I like the small illustrations on the different filter choices. However, as a newbie I don't have an eye for it and many characteristics, like color, seem to fit somewhere between 2 or 3 of the possible options. Therefore, I'd often like to go back and change my filter, but cannot, and have to start over which gets annoying.
