Ratings and reviews

For curiosity, it's OK. But only a couple hundred (254) species, separated in 2 lists in alphabetical order, without any identification key. You need 3 actions to exit the app (you can't just back out) which is annoying. Not sure if this is even useful.

This app is currently a total mess. There are inedible and potentially poisonous species listed as edible. Some mushrooms listed under scientific name whilst other related ones are listed under common or even outdated names making them hard to find. Some seem to have the wrong image entirely. Ultimately the number of species is just pretty limited anyway. Dangerous for those who don't know any better - useless for those who do.

Ok, some descriptions are vague, some species do not have sufficient photos. Why do I rate 5 out 5 I hear you ask. Simple; the rest is very very good. Never use a single source to identify a mushroom though. Always cross check.
