Picture Mushroom: Identifier

Pretty bad usability. Also doesnt recognize basic mushrooms.

Without payment not working, uninstalling.

This is NOT a free app nor does it have the language it promised to support. Would love to give it 0 stars if it was possible.

If you want to receive incognito bills to your account, download this app. Good luck.

Fast effective identification

This app is awesome! Every time I’m in the woods and stumble across a species I can’t identify or just for safety reasons, this app is always there to help. Helpful tips, quick identification and also great to show what species are toxic and to be avoided. Any new mushroom explorer should use this to help educate themselves when diving into the world of fungus!

The app is great, I love it. I don’t love that my collection photos are probably not stored locally because they are disappearing or being deleted from my collection. I had 3 photos for each mushroom I found, now some of them I only have two. I expect that I will have zero eventually due to unreliable storage, faulty programming, or even both.

I love mushrooms as much as steak. Maybe more, since mushrooms are free and come in a variety of favors and textures, where steak is only measured by tenderness and how you cook it. I recently ran across a bloom of funnel shaped mushrooms in a park in southern Minnesota, and I collected every one I could see in the hopes that I might have discovered a feast. When I got home, I put them all in the fridge, since I knew identifying a new species takes hours, and I was tired. The only identification I did was remember where I'd found them, and lay out a spoor print. (For aspiring mushroom lovers, a spoor print is where you cut off the stem and put the cap on a piece of paper, so you can see what color the spoors are. It usually only takes a half hour or so. It's not always important, but I have lost count of the times I have collected a bunch of parasol mushrooms, spoor print every color but blue or green, and false parasol with a blue or green spoor print. FYI parasols are considered among the most delicious, while the false parasol also has the common name "the vomiter" for good reason. People have died of dehydration from not taking a spoor print, when they look exactly the same.) The next morning, I spent two or three hours identifying this mushroom. I thought I had it dead to rights identified as Lactarius Psammicola, but southern Minnesota is a bit outside its recorded range. So I looked at reviews from mycologists, and picked an app that had solid professionals who recommended it. It took the app 20 seconds to tell me Lactarius Psammicola; I verified with established mycologists that I had Lactarius psammicola. Funny enough, I don't taste bitter very well. The "acrid taste" in the description literally means unpleasant and distinctive. Lactarius psammicola just uses tannic acid it gets from oak tree symbiosis as defense, which means it has a bitter aftertaste that I can't taste. It turns out that the Lactarius Psammicola was a delicious feast, just only for me, not my wife or kids.

Tried to get pics from library. App froze and had to be shut down and restarted.
