Fungi

Uses the standard table of mychological characteristics in the Wikipedia entries to display entries based on observed characteristics you enter. Great idea!

Wikipedia? Really? I bought this app for you to tell me in the first screen that this information was compiled off of Wikipedia? To me that is not worth my money. Thanks, but no thanks. I can use Wikipedia for FREE.

Only lists 46 species of fungi...

Nice portable app. Lots of interesting information. Be careful when picking mushrooms and always use more than one reference.

This program is frozen on my IPhone. It will not open, it will not update it is an interference to the operation of my phone. I can not even remove it.

I realize this app is just a reference at this point, but it would be cool to use as place to record data. Wish there was a way to keep track of fungi I've identified in the field. Maybe have a "basket" where you could keep what you just "picked", and provide info like date and location. Or just having the option of selecting favorites, would be a nice addition.

I am a hiker, climber and fisherman and often run into mushrooms that I want to identify. This app Does exactly that. And unlike a field guide book, the app weights exactly nothing and has an interactive search engine. Great price for a great app.

Good app but now frozen on disclaimer Pease fix and I will write a better review

This is a pretty nice mushroom identifier app.. but its missing a VITAL aspect. COLOR! you neeeeed to be able to put the color of like the cap and stem and whatnot. Also, this is a very nice list of mushrooms. Tons. But its missing some though that i wish were there, a couple being mushrooms from the psathyrella genus. those are a common mushroom, at least where i am. To me it seems like this would be an app for the intermediate to advanced mushroom hunter that already has some knowledge on hunting and identifying. Not a great choice for begginers.

Please be aware that this app has less than 500 mushrooms in the database. It is a good start, but still less than one fourth of your average field guide (like the excellent Mushrooms Demystified, by David Arora). Also, contrary to what another reviewer seems to think, I do not like the warning that opens up every time you open the application. At least there could have been a choice to deactivate the warning. Every child knows that there are poisonous mushrooms! All in all, this app leaves much to be desired, but I am happy that at least someone has started to put a mushroom field guide app together. I hope that the next version will bring us at least 2000 species.
