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

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.

Super impressive piece of software. Only issue is they don't define some of the jargon terms in app, or provide examples of the different factors used for identification. So I have to do a lot of googling every time I use it {I hope you know what "umbilicate" means! Really well built other than that, though. Minor complaint is my phone's nav bar aggressively minimizes when using this app, so it's annoying to try and switch out if it, making googling terms harder still.

Really happy with the app, it has a lot of useful info. I do wish it had an option to provide feedback or indicate a missing species. I couldn't find two northern California edible mushrooms listed (by common or scientific name): pigs ears and white jelly mushroom aka toothed jelly fungus. Additionally, the search by name feature is really slow and buggy.
