    Mushroom ID Apps

    Use cautiously. Eat carefully.

    1. Picture Mushroom

    Snap photo. AI suggests species. $30/year for full database.

    2. Shroomify

    Free. UK-focused but works for similar North American species.

    3. iNaturalist

    Free. Real expert reviewers identify your photos. More reliable than AI alone.

    4. Never eat without expert

    Apps are not 100% accurate. Many edible mushrooms have deadly look-alikes.

    5. Local mycology club

    Search Mycological society + your state. Real experts hold free walks.

    6. Photo for fun

    Best use of these apps — identify and learn, not eat.

    Death cap mushrooms look like edible mushrooms. They kill. Always verify with multiple expert sources before eating.
