This can for example be things like "moss", "under pine trees" and "on stumps".

For example, the information about the cap contains specific traits like spore print, diameter and many more. This unique type of data distribution enables Mushy to provide the user a whole new type of interactive mushroom identification tool to quickly identify any mushroom you encounter! The guide is designed with six simple questions. You answer each of the questions to the best of you ability with the appearance of your mushroom in mind and our algorithm grants points to every mushroom depending on the answers. This information is then calculated and compiled and you are presented with a result where every mushroom is ranked by probability. It has never been easier!

Very bad search function. For instance you specify you are looking to ID a mushroom with pores on its hymenium and the search results include mushrooms with gills. Not useful at all, have not successfully identified a single mushroom with this app ### 2/5 — pyschonauts turn back *2020-07-02, version 1.4* Forget it if you’re looking for hallucinogenic varieties, they only have one species listed. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2019-09-14, version 1.4* Just what I was looking for, easy to use and understand. Please update with more species! ## Frequently asked questions about Mushy ### What is Mushy's price? Mushy is available for a one-time purchase of $1.99.
