User Reviews for Picture Mushroom: Fungi finder

Makes exploring fun!

I really enjoy this app and feel for a novice it’s great! I enjoy learning about the nature around me and use mushroom books as a cross reference after using this app to help ID them. I am using the free version that you have to click around to use the app which is ok. I would appreciate having different medicinal uses listed and in which form(Tea, cooked etc.). Keep the warning of not to consume but add which cultures have used the various mushrooms. Some mushrooms do have this listed but I find myself googling and leaving the site and looking for more. Overall Great app! Thank you for creating this app!Edit: App adds popped up and was so off putting and I have no interest in games not having to have that interruption when I want to read about the mushrooms. I almost had 5 stars, if they added more about the app. Now with adds pop-up for the first time after reviewing and doing the update I’m really disappointed. 2 stars off. “Update to make app work more smoothly”?

This app is very accurate :)

I recently came back from a trip to San Francisco, and in one of the national parks I took pictures of many different kinds of mushrooms. Most of which I was correctly able to identify with this app. The ones I was not able to identify were most likely due to poor camera quality or the mushrooms not being fully fruited and wasn’t able to correctly get a mature fungus identification. I used the one week free trial, so idk how the app works without the subscription. I don’t go foraging enough to really use this app all the time, so the subscription would not be beneficial to me.

Much better for identification

I have been using iNaturalist for some time now. A few months ago, I became interested in documenting the mushrooms I saw. iNaturalist wasn’t doing a great job of identifying, so I decided to try this mushroom-specific app. I’m so glad I did! The identification suggestions are MUCH better, and it offers a multitude of information on each mushroom. I really appreciate the feature where you can compare your picture to suggested identifications side-by-side. I am working on transferring all my sightings over to this app now, and I am learning so many new things about the fungi in my area in the process!

Darren j. 60 years old and still leaning new things

This app is GREAT!!!! I have always been afraid of touching or coming close to fungus growing in the woods simply because I didn’t know if it’s toxic or not thanks to this app it’s wonderful. I Down loaded andFollowed the very easy directions took a picture of the mushroom take a picture of the mushrooms from the bottom up and it was right on the money as two other pictures of the same mushroom. Ever since I was a kid my folks always warn me don’t touch those fungus you don’t know if it’s poison well thankfully now I can tell the difference whoever came up with this app excellent excellent thank you so much took me 60 years to lift my fear of fungi growing in the woods.

Great app!

I have been using this app in particular for a quite a while now, and have downloaded some of their other ID apps. I feel that they’re all very well made and have a bunch of extra learning material! I really enjoy that they create a list of each months top mushrooms, and have other articles to read. Although of course not every ID is correct, which is to be expected when mushrooms are so diverse and sometimes can only be accurately identified through spores, etc, the app usually will still point you in the right direction. Overall I think the creators of these apps have done a wonderful job!

The amount of ads just to read basic information is insane. DELETE APP, same information is free in other places. I’m all for contributing to good apps, and I would possibly consider the $30 a year this app wants, but I didn’t get a chance to find out everything the app can do because I was hit with ads so often when just trying to read simple descriptions that I gave up. There has to be a way to let people try it out without making them commit to being charged at the end of seven days if they want to keep it or get busy with life and forget to cancel. I don’t know where the developers live, but $30 for an app that only identifies mushrooms is a big commitment for me financially. Just insane…Edit: Dev emailed me but I don’t think they understand my review… no, I do not want to email you, I don’t need to have this discussion in private. Not do I need to provide my financial information to your app even temporarily just to see what it is your app does. That is very shady to me. You can make the app full access for 30 days and THEN ask if users want to subscribe or lose full features. You do not need user financial information upon download.

Dangerous App

I used the app for the first time with a photo of a mushroom in the agaricus family. Below the photo was series of pictures came up calling it “Bisporus” which looked exactly like the one I had harvested. As it was considered safe to eat, I ate it, and got very nauseous. I did more research on wikipedia and learned there is a similar but inedible agaricus (xanthodermus) which I suspect I ate. (I live at 8,000 feet in New Mexico and there are many mushrooms after the summer rains.) I have never had the nerve to pick and eat one before today, when the app gave me the confidence I had an edible mushroom. The app did not exactly name my mushroom in the photo, which I didn’t realize at the time, but just showed file pictures that looked identical to mine. I will try the app again and take more care with identification details, but I will probably not ever eat a wild mushroom again, as I felt pretty terrible and scared. Just thought you should know the risk I experienced.

Good app but far from perfect

For those people saying ‘It’s not free!’ the pop up for the trial will happen every time you open it, but there’s a grey, hard to see ‘cancel’ at the top which lets you use the app for free with no trial. To cancel any subscription if you did accidentally sign up…you go to your phone settings, click your Apple ID at the top, and there’s a tab that says ‘subscriptions’ that allows you to cancel any apps you’ve paid for. You’re welcome. My issues with the app itself: somehow the heatmap is gone for me. Don’t know if that is not part of the free version anymore or something, but it was very helpful to seeing where in the world the mushroom was. The last few months I’m getting lots of suggestions for mushrooms that are nowhere near where my location is. If you’re gonna use my location data, at least have it help ID things. Also…the camera doesn’t want to focus while the app is open anymore, so I’m having to take photos out of the app and import them. Otherwise this app is super helpful for getting a ballpark ID on mushrooms and has been very accurate for some of them when I had little to go on. Always take them home and double check with spore prints and a good field guide, especially if you’re gonna eat them.

Incredible app

So one day my grandma and me were outside and we found these mushrooms and we didn’t know if they were safe or anything because my dog was also also outside and he could reach them with this chain so cause we have to put them on a leash because he runs away and we were outside, and I scanned it and the mushroom it was very very poisonous and it really helped me and my grandma know if it was safe or not because we were originally growing edible mushrooms and we didn’t know if it was toxic or not because it wasn’t in the mushroom the edible mushroom area so it really helped us and we got our dog away from it And we didn’t touch it and then one day I was just gone. We didn’t know what happened to it. It’s just gone. It’s really really really good app you should get it if I could and if I knew how to give it a 4 1/2 stars I would say the only reason I would give it that thing that review is because every mushroom I click on that says it said bullet says do not touch or do not eat. I don’t know why or is it just the curse of this app I don’t know anyways, you should get this app. It’s really good that really helped me and my grandma out to get our dog away from it. It’s a nice app you really should get it. Thank you for reading this.

So fun! 🤩

I downloaded this app recently and found that I love it! It is so quick with identifying mushrooms and gives a brief description of the mushroom as well, some even prompting weather they're edible or not, though I do not completely trust the app enough to eat any. Sometimes the mushroom I find and take a picture of is a bit different then the pictures that show up, maybe it’s because my mushroom is in a different stage as the one in the picture but I’m not completely sure. One suggestion I’ve been wanting to make relating to what I said above is that maybe there could be a community option that lets you talk and chat with others about the same mushroom and their experiences with it so it could be more reassuring to people that were curious about eating them or just about them in general. I feel like an option like this would just improve the app in so many ways and have been wondering if that could ever be made an option. Besides that note, I am in love with this app and will be continuing to use it when I go on my little mushroom hunts!😁🍄
