It’s a great assistant to have in your pocket when you want to identify something, since I livee near a foresty area. During mushroom season its really fun to walk around and identify whatever weird fungi I come across. I think Mushroom ID has really given me confidence with my knolwdge, plus its a fun way to explore and learn about nature with kids. So give it a try! **Developer response:** Hello!

It's always my go-to when I'm out hunting for fungi. The accuracy is just mind-blowing, and being able to catalog your finds makes the whole experience even more rewarding. If I forget to add a certain mushroom to my collection, I can always find it in snap history and do it later. If you're into mushrooms, this app is a must-have. **Developer response:** Hello!

The mushroom descriptions are also great and have many details. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you so much for your kind review!
