Photograph a mushroom. Compare look-alikes, explore cap, gill and stem features, and deepen your nature walks with 12 topic guides.
Photograph a mushroom to explore its likely species, identifying features and look-alikes. MushroomLens brings cap, gill and stem details together with habitat and seasonal information, giving you more to compare on your next nature walk.
Start with the visible features
Follow the photo guide to capture the side, cap top and underside, or choose photos from your library. Check the name and key features, then compare the match with what you observed.
Compare look-alikes
Compare similar species and the features that help distinguish them. Study cap, gill, stem and spore-print descriptions to learn more. Search a limited built-in catalog (common North American and European mushrooms and toxic lookalikes) by observed features; no match does not mean it is safe.
Explore habitats and seasons
Explore habitat and seasonal information. Keep notes about the setting and features you want to revisit.
Read reported toxicity concerns
When provided, check reported toxicity information, including any status marked as unknown. Keep this information alongside the species details.
Keep an observation journal
Save an unlocked result, add notes and organize items in folders. Revisit your saved details and identification history as you explore. Add a find location to a saved observation; the map pin stays on your phone and is not synced with your collection.
Learn with 12 guides
Read 12 topic guides in step-by-step pages, alongside other in-app articles. No subscription is needed to read the guides.
Ask your next question
Open the assistant from the home page to ask questions and keep learning. Usage limits are shown in the app.
Read the safety note
This is an educational identification and reference tool, not a professional or safety authority. Photo matches can be wrong, and details may be incomplete; missing risk information does not mean safe. Do not use the app to decide whether anything can be eaten or safely handled. Verify important identifications independently and follow local rules. Unknown toxicity remains unknown; absent warnings or no known toxicity are not safety clearances. This is not a foraging guide. Observe without disturbing the site.
Understand your privacy
We use PostHog for limited product analytics and AppsFlyer to measure installations and ads for our apps. Eligible event data may be shared with Meta for advertising measurement and optimization under applicable privacy controls. Photos go to our recognition service and Google's AI models to identify them. They are not used for advertising. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Explore access and purchases
Explore with an initial allowance of complete photo-identification results. Once it is used, parts of new results are locked and a paid upgrade is offered. Availability and limits are shown in the app.
Paid access applies to this app. Check the purchase screen for available options, prices, trial eligibility and usage limits. A trial, if offered, depends on eligibility. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled; manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.
