### 5/5 — Alaska shrooming

*2024-10-04, version 5.2.1*

Very helpful but more photos at each stage of development would help. Especially, for the location! 

Since Russian mushrooms were introduced in this region it seems more emphasis should be placed on common mushrooms found that are edible & what steps are needed. 

Most people want to eat mushrooms so more detail/resources are needed to make this a safe & rewarding practice!

### 1/5 — Very inaccurate.

*2023-05-14, version 4.2.0*

I looked up a few different mushrooms, one of which I already had a positive ID on, and the app wasn’t even close. Gave me a bunch of shrooms that looked nothing like any photo I searched up. Please improve! Don’t trust this app’s ID’s! Many of the pictures in the mushroom entries are repeats, too. It’s really stupid, and the app is weirdly set up and a bit confusing. If you value accurate ID’s, don’t download this app!

### 4/5 — good but needs more variety

*2021-11-08, version 3.0.8*

i like this app but sometimes when i go to look up a mushroom it isn’t included. if they added more mushroom types it would be perfect!

### 4/5 — Very good

*2020-10-05*

Excellent information for each species  with good photos.
Recommend as good reference source.
Photo identification stopped me from giving 5 stars.
