About this app

The application includes a detailed guide including the 200+ most common types of mushrooms, with detailed descriptions and quality photos. There is also a key for identifying species according to visible signs. The biggest application speciality is the experimental function for optical recognition of mushrooms using a neural network. Give it a shot!

Ratings and reviews

Very Well Done! This app is very well put-together. I wish all identification apps were setup like this one. You begin with relating the basic shape, size, and gill/other information and the app narrows down your search. Tap on the basket at the bottom, and it gives additional options for narrowing your search (stem and cap characteristics, etc.)

Incredibly versatile and useful. They absolutely need to expand their catalogue, though. Minor note, I can't click the URL link on some descriptions because they are at the bottom of the info cards, which overlap the navigation buttons on my phone. Maybe add a small dead zone banner as a footer to compensate for this in some phones.

Good start to a great concept, but needs improvement: it doesn't offer the option to use a picture from photo gallery. Identication Key section lacks Spore print color which is very important in some cases, yet the key has a redundant field: "fruiting body type" and "hymenophore type" serve same purpose. Only a couple hundred species, rather limited, but app is of a good design, well thought out and shows lots of promise if they remedy those things (upload photos, spore color, more species).
