Take a photo of a mushroom and Fungus tells you which species it is
in seconds. Mushroom identification by artificial intelligence – a
pocket companion for beginner and experienced foragers.
HOW IT WORKS
• Photograph the mushroom from several sides – cap from above gills or pores from below stem and base
• The app compares your photos with a large database of fungi species and suggests the most likely matches
• Each result shows a confidence score in percent photos and information about the species
FEATURES
• Mushroom ID from one or more photos
• Edibility label – edible inedible poisonous deadly
• History of all your identifications
• Map of your finds – all your mushroom spots in one place
• More than 40 languages
TIPS FOR ACCURATE RESULTS
Photograph the mushroom in its natural habitat and in good light. The more angles the more accurate the mushroom identification.
SAFETY FIRST
Fungus is a helper for mushroom pickers not a replacement for an expert. No mushroom identifier is flawless. Never eat a mushroom based only on the result of an app – always check it with an experienced forager or a mycological expert. If you suspect poisoning call your local poison control centre or emergency services immediately.
An internet connection is required for identification.
