Fun

### 1/5 — Subscription hell

*2026-08-12, version 2.14.0*

Awful. Can’t identify even the easiest mushrooms, and after it misidentifies it, it asks you to pay for the app….

### 1/5 — Not free

### 5/5 — Best MUSHROOM ID app EVER

*2026-08-06, version 2.14.0*

I am a mushroom lover, a certified mushroom identifier and I’ve used numerous mushroom identifier apps over 20+ years of my mushroom addiction. I guess that’s the best word because I love mushroom everything and this is the best one that I’ve come across in my lifetime of mushroom hunting. It’s great for experts, beginners and people of all sorts. It’s a must have for anyone getting started in mushroom hunting anyone. It’s a must have. I will recommend it to anyone I know so it’s a must must have and I love love love it thank you to the creators of this app because it’s amazing wonderful informative and just excellent all around if I can give it 10 stars I would

### 3/5 — Decent but too much distraction

*2026-08-04, version 2.14.0*

I’m all for apps with ads, but to sit through intro music (mute button hard to see), seemingly unskippable self promotion and then wants lots of permissions -
I’m not sold. Then constant reminder that it is a 7 day trial. Honestly, to ID a mushroom twice a year, it isn’t worth it. Books are cheaper as are free Internet searches. A shame as it seems to have decent functionality.
