Not for field ID of edibles
I purchased this app to aid in field identification of edible vs. non edible mushrooms. What it provides is a very limited number of mushrooms sorted by family which does not help me in any way. The lack of varieties is striking for an app billed as Mushroom ID.
Its does not distinguish between edible/non edible.
The app provides one very good picture of a mushroom but lacks in specific identifying features. For example, under the category of oyster mushrooms two pictures are provided but the app does not distinguish between varieties. I would imagine This renders the app useless for the majority of users, at least those users sharing my intent.
Maybe its a regional guide, but it is not marketed as such. It certainly is not for the upper Midwest. It may work for some, but my guess is those would be few.
I was hoping this app would replace carrying field guides in the woods. As of now, it does not.
I will continue to monitor the app and will absolutely amend this review with improvement. Heres hoping.
