## What is DeMushroom?

Mushroom photo identification. On your iPhone.
No ads. Identification photos are not uploaded.

Start with one clear photo. Add up to three views of the same mushroom: the cap, underside, and stem with its base. Each photo is analysed separately. Follow actual progress and compare per-photo candidates with the combined result. Model match percentages are uncalibrated ranking scores. They are not a probability of correct identification.

Works offline after setup
First setup may need a connection to Apple. After setup, identification, installed information and saved records work offline. Uncached reference images need internet. Your identification photos stay on the device.

Learn and keep your discoveries
Read available species notes, compare features and save your photos and notes. Chinese, English and German interfaces are available. Some long species descriptions remain in English in German mode. Species notes can contain errors and have not been individually checked by an expert. Information coverage does not guarantee photo-identification support.

Free and paid access
New users receive one free successful identification. Previously granted free uses remain. Choose a monthly or annual auto-renewing membership, or a one-time lifetime purchase, for unlimited identification. Species information, saved records and safety guidance remain free.

Eligible users can start a 3-day free annual trial when Apple offers it. The annual price is charged after the trial unless cancelled in time. Subscriptions renew automatically. Apple’s purchase screen shows the total price, period and cancellation terms. Manage or cancel in Apple subscription settings. Restore purchases in the app. Expiry ends unlimited identification. Saved records and remaining free uses stay available. Lifetime access does not auto-renew.

Safety
AI can misidentify mushrooms. Names, rankings, model scores and food-use records cannot show that your mushroom is safe to eat. Never use this app to decide whether to eat a mushroom. Have a qualified local expert inspect the actual specimen.
