  • Why isn’t this paid app?

    It simply doesn’t work if you do not sign up for so-called free trial.Just say it’s paid app upfront.

  • This app is a scam

    They told me I had a 3 day trial and then charged me immediately to install the app. I was also told that each picture I took was the same mushroom. None of my pictures were the one they claimed them to be. Each picture was a different specimen. This app is not accurate nor is it honorable of its free trial offer. I have had the app for an hour and have been unable to cancel my subscription that I did not intend or desire to purchase. Do not recommend!

  • Many misidentifications

    The app gives a wrong identification of most fungi more frequently than correct ones. I wouldn’t recommend it as a tool for getting oriented to the world of mushrooms.

  • Terribly misleading

    The photo you take with only seem you categorize your mushroom into ‘Gilled’ or ‘non Gilled’ genres
    It’s extremely vague

Our team is constantly working to improve the recognition capabilities of our application, including expanding the classifications beyond just ‘Gilled’ and ‘Non-Gilled’.

  • Not a Porcini, but app says it is

    I have these large mushrooms that come up in my yard occasionally. Knowing nothing about mushrooms, I downloaded this app to help identify them. I tried several times with multiple mushrooms and it always identified them as "Penny Bun" mushrooms (aka Porcini, King Bolete, etc), a highly prized mushroom. I started doing some research and concluded these are not Penny Buns, but False King Boletes - edible, but a far cry from Penny Buns. I feel like the app should've been able to distinguish the difference.

    Good afternoon. I myself use our application and the mushrooms you listed are recognized by me quite well. This is weird. Please contact our support and we will review your photos to understand what is going wrong. Thank you for choosing our application
  • Mostly wrong

    Was tried multiple times on known species and continuously misidentified them. Even attempted identification of ideal specimens of common store-bought mushrooms with no success. This app needs a lot of work.
  • Won’t even let you try it unless you pay

    I selected the “one-time use” option, and it still wouldn’t show me the results until I agreed to connect my card for a 3-day trial. Sorry, but I’m not willing to accidentally pay for a $30 membership just to see if this one mushroom in my yard might be poisonous. I know it says free trial, but I’m seeing other reviews claiming they got charged anyway, even after canceling within minutes. I’m out. How do you know it’s worth linking your card if you can’t even see the results first?

  • Charged me although I didn’t use that app

    I just wanted to try this app out and I only used it for about 30 seconds and they billed me for a year even though I immediately cancelled my subscription. It cannot identify mushrooms.
