Mushroom Id North America 4+

I find the app very handy. It's great to have in the field when hunting different species. I only wish it had the common name as well as the scientific name on the quiz part of the app. Getting people to learn different mushrooms is fantastic. I just wish on the quiz part you had an option to change to proper scientific names. Nicknames can be confusing and passing down nicknames instead of proper scientific terminology does nobody good on the quiz section. Everything else is great. Great app. Thanks for all the effort on the app.

This is by far the best app around to identify and learn about mushrooms. It features an extensive list of mushrooms species with high quality photos, many helpful criteria and nice, detailed descriptions that include edibility, fruiting period, environs data and brief descriptions. Mushrooms are organised by family and the app even lets you compare mushrooms’ features. As an amateur mushroom finder, it’s very easy to search and identify a mushroom on the go: the app allows you to narrow down a mushroom by features, including color, size, head type, ring, and more. It even records my sightings so I am able to determine exact location for future field trips. A GREAT thing about the app, too, is that the mushrooms aren’t only searchable by Latin names, which is definitely a plus if you’re not a veteran mushroom picker. Also love that the app includes a quiz: it makes learning about mushrooms a lot more fun!

I bought the app to help me ID mushrooms in the field based on criteria. I enter the criteria in the app and click the check mark and it displays mushrooms that clearly DO NOT MATCH MY CRITERIA. I say the mushroom is yellow and it shows me a blue one as the top match. I say it has decurrent gills and it shows me mushrooms with porous gills. I say it grows in conifer forest and it shows me mushrooms growing in grassland. When you enter MULTIPLE criteria, it should match ALL the criteria, not ANY of it. While the pictures are very nice and the info is handy, what good is it if you have to scroll through dozens of mushrooms to maybe match one in the search results? This app needs a lot more work to be useful. I certainly will NOT upgrade to the Pro version.
