About Rostou!
As avid mushroom foragers, we built Rostou! for what we needed: an intuitive yet powerful app to identify mushroom species and save findings.
The focus of the app is on mushrooms growing in Europe. Each species includes a detailed description of its appearance, habitat, and possible lookalikes. There are also warnings for certain toxic species, and fun facts about many of the mushrooms. You can add a note to each species, or add it to favorites to quickly find it later.
When looking up species, powerful yet easy-to-use filters can narrow down the search significantly. For example, you can only look for white, ball-shaped mushrooms growing under conifers in September.
When you find a mushroom, you can pin the finding to a map with the tap of a button. If you’re not sure about the species you found, you can just add it as an unknown species and edit it later. Or create a shared album and identify species in a group of friends. And all your data is securely synced via iCloud, so your map of findings will automatically appear if you get a new iPhone.
About Rostou! PRO
The app is free to download and many of its features are free to use for everyone. We offer a paid subscription, which enables us to continue developing the app and adding more species. A single subscription is valid for both iPhone, iPad as well as Apple Watch.
With the paid subscription, you unlock:
- Descriptions of all species in the database
- Articles with identification keys for types of mushroom caps, stems, and cap undersides
- All planned features for no additional payment
