## What is Mushroom Spot?

What mushroom is this? Take a photo and the app helps you identify it in seconds. Mushroom Spot is a mushroom map, a photo identifier and a mushroom finder in one app – and it's free to get started.

Over 1,000,000 mushroom spots are already on the map, across more than 800 species. Find spots near you, save your own, and share your favourite finds with friends.

Snap a photo of your find and the AI mushroom identifier gives you suggestions straight away. It ranks the most likely species with a probability for each and lists the features to check – the final call is always yours.

Key features:
• Comprehensive mushroom map with over 1,000,000 mushroom spots and more than 800 species worldwide.
• Mushroom ID: photograph a mushroom and get AI suggestions in seconds, ranked by probability.
• Mushroom guide: explore detailed information about mushrooms with key identification features. Discover where to find different mushroom species with detailed habitat information, along with cooking and preservation tips for each mushroom.
• Add your own private mushroom spots to the map – only you can see them, so you can come back to the same place next season.
• Directional navigation: once you are close, an arrow and a line point you to the exact mushroom spot, even off-trail.
• Mushroom navigator: get directions to any mushroom location using the navigation apps on your phone.
• Use extended filters and search to explore new wild mushrooms and fungi species.
• Share your top mushroom picking spots and observations with friends and family on Facebook, WhatsApp, or Telegram.
• Season: you'll always see when a mushroom spot is likely to be at its best.
• Comprehensive database of mushroom names: whether you know the common name or the scientific one, you'll easily find the mushroom you're looking for. Supported languages include English, Finnish, German, Swedish, Norwegian and Russian.

Mushroom season varies by region, and the app shows you when a spot is likely to be at its best – whether it's a walk in the woods, a foraging trip or mushroom hunting in autumn. Learn to recognise the chanterelle, porcini, cep, penny bun, morel, oyster mushroom, hedgehog mushroom, field mushroom and puffball, along with the other wild edibles you might come across. And the toadstools worth knowing and leaving alone: the death cap, the destroying angel, the fly agaric, the panther cap and the false chanterelle.

Made for mushroom collectors, mushroom hunters and anyone curious about what's growing in the woods. With Mushroom Spot, every trip into nature becomes a journey into the wonderful world of mushrooms and wildlife.

### 5/5 — Wow this app is with a bunch of mushrooms

*2026-05-08*

Nice

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words — we're really happy you're enjoying the app. 🙏 We continuously work on improving it based on feedback from our users, so messages like yours mean a lot to us. If you ever have suggestions or need any help, feel free to reach out at support@mushroomspot.io.

### 2/5 — Мало стран

*2025-10-08*

Почему так мало стран? Вот Черногория , например, для меня актуальна. Но нет её 😐

**Developer response:** Спасибо, что написали! Мы фокусируемся на качестве данных и поддерживаем только регионы с достаточным количеством грибных мест. К сожалению, Черногория пока не входит в этот список. Мы продолжаем работать над расширением географии приложения.

### 1/5 — Extrem wenige Spots

*2025-10-03*

Extrem wenige Spots und meist nur für sehr exotische Pilze. Nicht wirklich hilfreich.

**Developer response:** Danke für dein Feedback! Diesen Frühling haben wir unsere Datenquellen verbessert und die Abdeckung weltweit ausgebaut. PRO-Nutzer können außerdem jetzt unsere neue KI-gestützte Pilzbestimmung nutzen. Falls du trotzdem nicht zufrieden bist, helfen wir dir gerne per E-Mail bei einer Rückerstattung weiter.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2025-09-11*

I am so disappointed in this app. I live in a place where there are a lot of morels and chanterelles but they don’t even show up on this map. Most of the things I’m seeing on the map species that are unusual or hard to identify and not much more common species. This is a rip off.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience. Our spots are gathered by community researchers and nature observers, so coverage does vary by region — we're sorry that the species you're looking for aren't well represented in your area. We're continuously working to improve our data coverage. If the app hasn't met your expectations, please reach out to us directly to discuss a refund.

### 5/5 — Класс

*2024-07-16*

Классное приложение👀 Функции прикольные, справочник интересный и по делу. Интерфейс очень приятный, жалко комьюнити мало активное, следовательно и мест мало :(

**Developer response:** Спасибо :)

Стараемся развиваться, к сожалению, в некоторых странах у нас много грибных мест на карте, в некоторых меньше. Уверен, что к следующему году их будет значительно больше и будет так же больше полезного функционала и информации по грибам.

### 5/5 — My beginning of my journey

*2024-02-24*

I am a 24 year old human being who suffers through ADHD with ADD. I discovered a mushroom that grew outside my ranch in Mercedes Texas. I didn’t knew better but to try it. Sure enough the ingredients inside is called Psilocybin. On everything I own after I ate that mushroom my head was cleared and I was able to think hear feel and sense everything so cleared. Anyways I will be using this app to make it grow for people that seek the same energy as me. Thank you for this app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind reply, we hope to be helpful to all fungi fans.

Remember to be careful when collecting mushrooms, as some of them can be deadly poisonous, many edible mushrooms have deadly poisonous lookalikes.

### 5/5 — Hope

*2024-01-12*

I really wish there were more people to use this app and report where mushrooms are. I find it kind of useful and interesting. This app could also use an update with locations and reports around the world possibly. As a mushroom forager I enjoy this app!

**Developer response:** Hello Jacob,

Thank you for your kind review. We are a small team of three working part time, trying to do our best, one of the goals for this year is to increase the number of spots since for us, as foragers, it would be also greater if we'd have more public locations, now the amount of public spots is highly dependant on the country you forage in.
