About this app

Explore mushrooms, even with no signal.

Shroomify is an independent field guide for people who want to learn about the fungi around them. Choose a USA or regional US dataset to explore species relevant to your area.

IDENTIFY YOUR WAY
• Work through illustrated characteristics, including cap colour, shape, gills and pores.
• Use a photo to suggest visible characteristics, then check and refine the suggestions yourself. Photo assistance runs on your device and works offline.
• Search by common or scientific name and compare detailed species accounts and similar species.

A GUIDE FOR THE FIELD
• More than 400 species and over 1,000 photographs across the catalogue.
• Descriptions of appearance, habitat, distinguishing features and similar species.
• Regional datasets and seasonal information help put your results in context.
• Species descriptions and interface text are available in English, German, French and Italian.

YOUR MUSHROOM LOGBOOK
Save favourites, record finds and attach your own photographs. Your logbook stays on your device. Export a backup to keep a separate copy, and restore it when needed.

LEARN AS YOU EXPLORE
Discover mushroom groups and their ecology, with illustrated details to look for. Read the built-in foraging and spore-print guides and explore the Shroomify Research Project's findings about weather, habitat and fungal records.

WEATHER OUTLOOK
A free early preview compares recent and forecast weather with the conditions usual for the region and season. It needs an internet connection and is available for supported regions and species. The field guide, photo assistance and logbook work offline after installation.

INDEPENDENT AND STRAIGHTFORWARD
No adverts. A one-off in-app purchase unlocks Premium, including the full photo library and unlimited offline photo assistance. No subscription is required for Premium.

Shroomify helps you examine and compare mushrooms. Photo suggestions are not a confirmed species identification or a judgement of edibility.

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.

I love this app as a supplement to other guides, but it could definitely use some improvements! Namely: a way to suggest them that isn't in the reviews. It appears we found some Alpine Jelly Cone in the PNW (Duvall area), but I wasn't able to find any kind of entry for the Alpine Jelly Cone - even when I expanded my search. There's a lot of different types of mushrooms so I understand it's unlikely for an app to have ALL of them, but it would be nice to be able to suggest ones to add. 5 Stars because it's worked well even when backpacking/camping, and it is sufficiently informative without being too much information. I've recommended it to my friends and would recommend it to anyone!

I love the app! Simple to use, and has a good amount of information on species. My feature requests would be the ability to save specific species to a list, a little shroom Pokedex if you will. And as others have mentioned a look-alike link would be good, but depends on the dataset I guess. Either of those would add plenty of value to the pro version for me.
