Photograph any mushroom and get the likely species, a clear risk class, and the dangerous look-alikes worth checking. What we will never do is tell you it's safe to eat — no photo app can do that honestly.

Identification is only half the answer. The risk is the other half — and it's free on every scan.
Common and scientific name, with a plain-language confidence level and the other species it could be.
Deadly, Toxic, Inedible, Reportedly edible, or Unknown — shown above the species name, not buried under it.
The deadly species yours can be confused with, and the exact feature that separates them. Never hidden, never paywalled.
What the app actually saw, plus season and substrate — so you can check the call instead of taking it on faith.
"What else could this be?" "What should I photograph next?" Keep asking until the picture is clear.
Whole mushroom, gills or underside, and stem base — where a volva or bulb gives away the most dangerous species.
Most mushroom apps answer the question you want answered. We answer the one you can actually be told.
Independent testing has found mushroom ID apps correct roughly half the time, and deadly Amanita and Galerina look-alikes missed a third of the time. Any app that tells you to eat something is overstating what it knows.
When confidence is low the app says Unknown and tells you what to photograph next, instead of guessing to seem useful.
Risk class and look-alike warnings appear on free scans exactly as they do for subscribers. A subscription buys volume and follow-up questions — never the warning.
Location is never collected, and GPS data is stripped from every photo on your device before it is uploaded.
Whole mushroom, the gills underneath, or the base of the stem. The gills and stem base carry the features that separate edible species from deadly ones.
Camera or library. The app checks the light, resizes it, and strips the GPS data before anything leaves your phone.
Seconds later: the risk class at the top, then the species and confidence, then the dangerous look-alikes and what to check on each.

Including this one. Use it to narrow things down and to see the danger you might have missed — then take it to someone qualified before you ever consider eating it. If you or someone else has eaten a wild mushroom, contact Poison Control immediately (US: 1-800-222-1222).
