Explore mushrooms, even with no signal. Shroomify is an independent mushroom field guide. Use a photo or illustrated questions to narrow down possible matches, then compare the details for yourself. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Species descriptions and Shroomify research content are available in English, French, German and Italian. Local common names are shown where available, alongside scientific names. IDENTIFY YOUR WAY • Photo assistance suggests a mushroom's type, cap color and other visible traits for you to check. Analysis runs on your device, without an internet connection. • Characteristic ID uses illustrated choices to narrow your shortlist, with an optional Advanced mode for finer details. • Search by common or scientific name to go straight to a species. BUILT FOR THE FIELD • Identification, the field guide and your logbook work offline once installed. • Browse 400+ species with 1,000+ photographs and regional datasets. • Typical seasonal records help order results for your selected area and month. • Expanded field guide notes and linked similar-species cards help you compare important features. • Save favorites and record finds in your personal, on-device logbook. WEATHER OUTLOOKS A free early preview combines recent and forecast weather with research into fungal records to show when conditions may be more or less favorable than usual for a species in a supported area. These outlooks need an internet connection. Coverage depends on the available evidence and current data, so not every area or mushroom has an outlook. Comparisons are with that area's usual conditions for the time of year, not a promise of how many mushrooms you will find or a ranking of one area's habitat against another. Share feedback from within the feature to help improve it. INDEPENDENT AND PRIVATE No ads or cross-app tracking. Premium features are included on iOS, with no separate in-app purchase or subscription required in this release. Photos stay on your device unless you choose to contribute one. Photo contributions and forecast feedback are optional. Shroomify is a guide, not a guarantee. Always confirm a mushroom's identity and never eat a wild mushroom unless you are completely certain of what it is.

Shroomify can be your buddy!

This is not a “point, shoot, and here’s your answer” app. I’m delighted to have found Shroomify. The devil is in the details as with many things. In this case, misidentification that can lay you low. Shroomify requires careful examination of physical dimensions, features of the stem, to characteristics of the underside of the cap! Knowing this, along with other distinguishing traits, not only helps with the name of the one in question but teaches the user to be observant when identifying the next mushroom. Clear indications of ones considered edible/desirable versus the ones that are poisonous, even deadly, sets a proper tone. Because of slight variations between the good, the bad, and the ugly, Shroomify stresses getting final confirmation from an expert before loading up your spaghetti sauce with a killer!

Good, but needs more species

Shroomify is a pretty good app, I just think they need to add a few things.For example, I was trying to ID a white mushroom on my lawn that I studied one summer. It seemed like an Amanita, so when I couldn’t find a match on Shroomify, I searched up Amanita in the Search by Name section. Only a few Amanitas were listed, and none looked like my mushroom. I understand that there’s lots, but please add more.I also searched up Amanita theirsii to read up on it, and it wasn’t in the app either. I also saw a mushroom that could have been Pluteus petasatus, but Pluteus petasatus wasn’t on the app. That mushroom was growing in clover, its cap was flat throughout all the stages of growth I saw, it had that “mushroomy” scent, the gills decayed brown, and these nasty, teeny little bugs were all over the older ones. It wasn’t bulgy at the base, and it grew with a few others fairly far apart. I think the gills were free from the stem, and were curved. They grew before I saw shaggy manes pop up.Also, I think Shroomify should add a “what kind of place is it growing” question on the Identify Mushrooms section; that would be super helpful.Developer, if you’re reading this, please take my suggestions.Other newbie mycophiles, fyi this is a good app, but take its ID’s with a grain of salt. Always cross-reference and be sure of your ID’s BEFORE eating ANYTHING from the wild. NO app is going to be right 100% of the time, and neither are you. Mistakes can be deadly, so be careful! Happy hunting!

This is the best app ever since the apps that you scan require an iOS update or 13, Whatever old phones can’t do that and can’t have those apps so you can’t identify mushrooms this one you can! And you can even learn more in this app than those other ones and completely ad-free and even if you don’t have the premium you can still learn so much! I love this app when I got it this is my favorite app! Please download this app you will not regret it!🍄Stay healthy and don’t eat poison mushrooms!🍄 :) (and creater, don’t let anyone make you feel bad,i know how that feels and it does not feel good so be nice and stay healthy thank you for making this app. :)🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

Good not Perfect but what is?

I can tell this one is by genuine people and it doesn’t try and clobber you with expensive subscriptions. It didn’t get my Boletus perfectly but it was close enough to help me narrow it down. I like the multiple options and the fact it said edible or not edible. I appreciated knowing the Devils Boletus isn’t in my area. I used to mushroom hunt in Czechia as a child and the same ones grow here in NJ so I want to eat them again. Never eat anything if you aren’t sure especially if it has gills. Keep activated charcoal in the house for any mistakes or food poisoning as it can save lives. I also think picture ID is hard - as mushrooms are identified by characteristics best. That’s why I liked that this asked a number of questions about each fungi. Doing it just by pictures could be dangerous so I used this along with a common ID app. I LOVED that it has which ones are available in which month and location which the Chinese subscription apps won’t have as they weren’t created by people with experience. Would also love if they did a state by state most common but I know that’s a lot of work. Download!
