## What is Shroomify?

Identify mushrooms fast — even with no signal.

Shroomify is an independent, offline field guide to fungi, built by a forager who was frustrated with everything else out there. Snap a photo or answer a few simple questions, and Shroomify narrows things down to the species you’re most likely to be looking at — ranked by what’s actually fruiting in your area, this month.

IDENTIFY YOUR WAY
• Photo ID — point your camera and Shroomify suggests the type, cap colour and other traits for you. It runs entirely on your device, so it works deep in the woods with no signal.
• Characteristic ID — no photo? Tap through clear, illustrated choices (cap shape, colour, gills, size, growth) and watch the shortlist shrink. Beginner-friendly, with an optional “Advanced” mode for the finer details.
• Search by name — go straight to any species.

BUILT FOR THE FIELD
• Fully offline once installed — no data connection needed, ever.
• 400+ of the fungi you’re most likely to meet, with 1,000+ photos.
• Results ranked by your region and the current month, so the likely finds float to the top.
• Curated regional datasets: UK, Ireland, USA (and regions), Canada, Germany, and more.

LEARN AND REMEMBER
• Mushroom Logbook — favourite the species you want to remember and bag the ones you’ve found. It’s your personal record, stored on your device.
• Foraging tips and spore-print guides built in.

SAFETY FIRST
Shroomify is a guide, not a guarantee. It’s designed to speed up identification and point you in the right direction — always confirm any find with a good field guide, and never eat a wild mushroom unless you are completely certain of its identity.

HONEST AND INDEPENDENT
• No adverts. No selling your data. No subscription.
• A single one-off purchase unlocks premium for life and directly supports a small independent developer who still builds this himself.

Download Shroomify, and head out with a mushroom expert in your pocket.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal App

*2026-08-22, version 2.0.1*

Wonderful app. It is my main go to besides google. Maybe next update you can add a new species submission tool for adding to your database. I am in Eastern Canada so a specific database for the Atlantic Provinces would be another great update.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2026-04-21, version 1.5*

Total waste of money, needs a camera for immediate identification.

### 4/5 — Great but…

*2026-03-01, version 1.5*

Don’t get me wrong. This app is great, but it uses a UK mushroom database. While Europe is far superior than the US in its mushroom history and the mycology ranks, mushrooms and hunting are very specific to their respective regions. Easy example: Fly Agaric in Minnesota are generally yellow with white spots, not red with white spots.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-02-09, version 1.5*

I really like it so far. You can’t really go wrong for the price.

### 5/5 — Love it (1 wish)

*2025-11-17, version 1.5*

I especially love that this app is available offline!

My one request would if we could “bookmark” or otherwise mark certain mushies… would love to have a record or collection of the ones we’ve found on our property.

### 5/5 — Useful!

*2025-10-12, version 1.5*

An app my partner introduced me to; he adores foraging and as I come from Poland I love hunting for mushrooms myself. It is extremely helpful and useful, I would like to suggest two little edits tho. Where it says that a mushroom is either edible or poisonous to make the title have some background behind the text so it’s not asker to read/spot. As well as, I think it might be useful to be able to introduce a “what mushroom is this” search feature where one may either paste a picture of the shroom or describe it as well as possible.

### 1/5 — Not enough choices

*2025-08-19, version 1.5*

There’s no ‘sponge’ category.

### 5/5 — Best app for novice naturalists and mycolegists

*2025-08-13, version 1.5*

Easy to navigate app that is easy to use

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2025-07-28, version 1.5*

Misleading app it’s listed with other apps that point and click mushroom pictures and I paid for this app that don’t do anything but reference.

### 3/5 — Great but very limited

*2025-07-22, version 1.5*

This app is very detailed for the species of fungi it has. I appreciate the simple design of the interface. 
The only issue I have with this app is the narrow amount of fungi is has. It only holds the “top” fungi or the most recognizable fungi. I really wish it had a much larger base of species to ID, as the ones it has could be identified very easily without the app.

It’s worth the purchase for your first intro to fungal ID, but it’s not much help after a short time.
