Mushroom Book & Identification for Negative User Reviews
✓ Good appNeeds more mushrooms.Version: 4.10
✓ Psilocybin should not be categorized as poisonousPsilocybin containing mushrooms should not be categorized as poisonous, they should be in a category of their own, perhaps not under edible, but definitely not poisonous, a separate icon other than skull and cross bones to describe inedible. Needs more work.. i will keep the app as it contains useful information non the less..Version: 4.1
✓ Not worth the money 😩I was excited to try something that might narrow down some of my unknown mushrooms and let me record my locations, but after trying it out with the known species, I was very disappointed in how inaccurate the App’s photo identification is. I used multiple photos of the same species (different angles and lighting) to see if a better quality photo would make a difference in accuracy. It misidentified every photo and species except the Chicken of the Woods and black trumpets. It could not ID Hen of the Woods, chanterelles (2 sp), painted bolete, Old Man of the Woods, Dryad’s Saddle, and several other inedible species, each with multiple photo ID attempts. Also, the app froze every time a photo was deleted from the photo ID list. As for the location record, I could only record the current location while using the app, it would not let me pin a location for a previously found mushroom, not helpful for places with no cell and/or gps service. Bottom line, if you’re spending money, get a regular ID app if you want something reliable and DEFINITELY don’t rely on this App for edibles vs poisonous varieties!!!.Version: 4.10
✓ Not satisfiedHighly inaccurate search. 99% of the time I try to identify a mushroom, the wrong ones show up and I have to search for them myself through the database. Although I know not all mushrooms are in the database, the search option is still inaccurate for the the ones that are in the database. I am honestly not pleased with the app and I wish I could have a refund..Version: 4.10
✓ Please expand your databaseThe database of mushroom for search is not too comprehensive. Please beef it up. Please also include more real-life pictures of the mushroom for id purpose, since I don’t find drawings that helpful. In any case, I’m rather disappointed to pay for the app but it’s not very useful. A lot of searches with camera pics don’t yield any result. Shazam, this is not (yet). The idea of it, when it works (as Shazam does), is great. This app is not quite there yet..Version: 4.2
✓ Almost, but not quite thereOut of five mushroom photo only one was identified correctly. It identified bright red Gandomera tsugae as birch polypore. The illustrations it uses if you are searching through the app for a match could be a lot better..Version: 4.1
✓ Mega!If I was eating mushrooms that I foraged and was using this app to identify them I’d be dead by now 🙉.Version: 4.4
✓ Hunting mode?Can’t seem to access any sort of map or gps enabled “hunting mode”. Can I have my mooolah back? That’s the only reason I bought it. I have an up to date iPhone so all the features from your picture advertisements should work!.Version: 4.4
✓ CrashesCrashes all the time. On both ipad and iphone. Fix it please.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Definitely don’t trustThe “shazam” feature is experimental at best. The database is incomplete at best. It incorrectly ids some of the easiest mushrooms; chicken of the woods, beefsteaks, turkey tails. Even some popular mushrooms you can find at the farmers market like lions mane or maitake are missing from the database. It does id some correctly and gets close on others but more bad than good at least for the South East US. Im an amateur mushroom hunter, and I would recommend not eating anything identified by this app..Version: 4.1
✓ This App is CrapI bought this app and picked some mushrooms in the forest. Every time I took a photo of them I got the message that they were probably not mushrooms. They were definitely mushrooms..Version: 4.11
✓ DangerousIt’s not possible to edit a mushroom identity, if it’s not in the predefined set of possibilities. The app identified a destroying angel as a stinkhorn, and wouldn’t let me edit the details. Also can’t update the location if you upload the photo somewhere other than where you took it..Version: 4.10
✓ ОбманАбсолютно бесполезная программа. Не определяет грибы из 100 - процентов 99. Во многих словах отсутствуют буквы. Предложения в заголовках неполные, непонятен смысл. Цвета в фоновых рисунках аж пестрят, неудобно для глаз. Не покупайте приложение. За него деньги вам не вернут!.Version: 4.5
✓ NoYou get drawings, no pictures. Waste of money..Version: 4.5
✓ UghI wish I could give this horrible app negative stars. I have never gotten a correct ID from my pictures. Not once. Just today it identified oyster mushrooms as golden chanterelles and gave a 66% probability. If I shudder to think anyone might actually use this thing thinking it was foolproof. A waste of time..Version: 4.1
✓ Terrible and inaccurate appI would like a refund. This app is rubbish. It identified a dyrad saddle mushroom as 7 different mushrooms in a row... not an app you can use to be trust worthy. How can I get a refund?.Version: 4.10
✓ Not bad but not worth the priceGood info on lots of mushrooms but lacking in bracket fungus..Version: 4.10
✓ Very limitedVery limited varieties of mushrooms in the app. When I search for known varieties the search comes up negative..Version: 2.0.7
✓ FailedFirst three mushrooms I tried to identify were a complete mismatch. One pale brown coloured mushroom was matched to a bright red beef steak mushroom with 75% confidence! Needs work.Version: 4.5
✓ Camera Feature Not AccurateIncorrectly identities 3 out of 5 photos that I ran through the camera-search feature. The app has loads of information on its available species, but it simply doesn’t function as advertised. Hopefully this will be fixed in a future update, but for now, there are free apps that do a much better job..Version: 4.3
✓ Can’t find anything in the databaseDon’t buy this App, all you will get is the “did not match any mushrooms” message. It can’t even find some well known mushrooms like Dryad’s Saddle and Chicken of the Woods in the database..Version: 4.2
✓ Great app potentialGreat app with nice pictures and descriptions. More mushrooms need to be added for this to be a helpful field guide..Version: 2.0.4
✓ This app can kill youThis app has issue to analyze the deadly mushrooms!.Version: 4.10
✓ Missing shrooms....Please add Maitake (hen of the woods) and shaggy mane. Thank you!.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Not great for identifying, but...This app does not do a good job identifying mushrooms from your photographs. In fact it has never correctly identified anything I’ve submitted a search for. But it does give good descriptions and pictures of many species found in my area..Version: 4.10
✓ Do not buy this.I have used nothing but very clear photos and have had ZERO correct identifications. Useless app..Version: 4.8
✓ Nice information, that’s itNice photos and information, but other than that not great, used it when out mushroom picking and 90% of the time it either gave a 50/50 chance of working or recognising. Was it a waste of money? Yes as the app didn’t really work. But it was informative!.Version: 3.5
