Great quick take to narrow down mushroom ID. This has about an 80% accuracy rate, which is pretty darn good for an app; good enough to send me to the right place in my references. As we know, NEVER assume any app is correct; always check with reliable sources, do a spore print, and all the other things before making a positive ID. Question for developer: Will you consider allowing Family Sharing for this app? I want to educate my family about these wonderful gifts from Gaia and their having the app via Family Sharing would help tremendously. Thanks.

I have these large mushrooms that come up in my yard occasionally. Knowing nothing about mushrooms, I downloaded this app to help identify them. I tried several times with multiple mushrooms and it always identified them as "Penny Bun" mushrooms (aka Porcini, King Bolete, etc), a highly prized mushroom. I started doing some research and concluded these are not Penny Buns, but False King Boletes - edible, but a far cry from Penny Buns. I feel like the app should've been able to distinguish the difference.

This app can identify correctly SOMETIMES. It seems the app mostly run on guest work and normally it will just tell you the general family belong to it’s almost never specific and when it is specific it is most definitely wrong. This app would be worth it even if it was free don’t even waste your time with the free trial. I downloaded it because I thought the idea of technology identifying mushrooms is cool, however I have also spent time studying mushrooms myself and I am not mycologist but the app gets confused even by the simple types of mushrooms that even amateur enthusiasts can recognize with ease.

Anything outside of common mushroom gets pretty much miss labeled, if there is a way to add more than one photo profile to a mushroom id, it’s not obvious. I had the same mushroom analysis 4 times with three different results, all of which ended being incorrect. Do not trust this app for foraging, it’s a liability. At best it can help confirm your own identification, but still recommend against this. The most useful part is the list of species where you can compare their notes on different species and the lookalikes.
