Mushroom Id North America App Reviews

Ive not had the app long enough to give it a 5 star rating yet but it has good potential with all the excellent pictures it contains for easy ID. Elly

This is a fun App to have with you on a hike. Not every mushroom is here but enough to identify the most common ones. Learning the families is easy. I was glad to find it and look forward to updates.

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!

This app offers the most complete catalogue of wild mushrooms and fungi I have seen. It has an abundance of photographs for all fungi species, including edible, poisonous mushrooms, truffles, puffballs and brackets. It is my perfect little guide for identifying mushrooms. Also included are descriptive keys word searches like: details of size, shape, colour, habitat, and even tree spotting nearby. Great way of getting further involved in a nature-oriented community! Its a perfect addition!!

Many species are missing and typically few images per mushroom. Edibility rating is VERY cautious and seems done with a do-not-sue-us perspective. Some common names are not what I typically use, like stone bolete is called something else! At this time this app is not useful for someone who owns a good field guide i.e. real book or has real experience. It was a waste of my money but I hope with time they add many more species and images.

I love it, cant wait to get more!

Awesome stuff, love to go out on adventures around Santa Cruz and other areas of the Pacific Northwest. Canada is where I plan to visit soon oh and Germany.

Pretty useless. Just buy a book or join r/mycology if you want to get into mushrooming. This app is junk. It has no useful information about territory of mushrooms, it doesnt list common names or useful scientific names. It doesnt tell you any details about stem, ribs or lack there of. It isnt extensive at all. Im actually mad that I spent money and it was so well reviewed.

Truly this app has the right amount of information to make it useful.

There are only 175 species in the app. It failed to identify any of the species from a recent trip to the Smoky Mountains.

I love to collect mushrooms for a nice meal. I enjoy using apps whenever Im exploring nature. This app really is a good help distinguishing the different species!

The app exhibits a user friendly design and even as a mushroom beginner I’m mastering the identification task easily. I think the information provided by the app is really helpful to decide whether to pick up a mushroom or rather leave it where it is. The various images support the correctness of the findings. I will definitely use the record keeping tool for my sightings but don’t expect me to share my favorite collecting sites ;-)

Incomplete guide with very little information provided for each species. Not worth $4.99. Should be a free app until the app is fully developed !

Mushroom ID is a great resource. Love the fact that all the info downloads so you can take it with you into the backcountry without connection issues. Would it be possible to add a function that allowed the user to take or save a photo, submit it and then receive a set of possible species? Thanks for creating this useful app!

I love this app! Its great for identifying mushrooms while I am in the woods. I love the quiz part of the app, but it sometimes says my answer is wrong when I know it is correct. I have even stopped the quiz and used the app to look up the answer I gave(that it marked as wrong), to see the exact same picture appear as was in the quiz. That is the only problem o have with it as of yet, though.

Really like content especially pics. Little confused why some labeled non-edible when they are but minor. Look forward to increased content.

Nice app. Would be nice to use camera to do image search id of fungus in the woods.

This app had a majority of the mushrooms I have found.

Limited number of species. Very basic selection

I expected more from this app for its price. There is not enough info here to truly identify anything. Each mushroom should have a simple list of identifying characteristics at minimum. I feel like I was just robbed, needs major improvements to be useful.
