Mushroom Pointer

Point your phone at the forest floor. Mushroom Pointer draws a box around anything that looks like a mushroom. It never says what it is, or whether it is safe. It points. You look. • Helps you notice small mushrooms you would walk past • Live boxes, as you walk • No names. No verdicts. Just a box • Works offline. Nothing leaves your phone • A short buzz on a new box, if you want it • Zoom in. Keep a frame with one tap One slider: fewer boxes, or more. It misses some, and sometimes boxes a pine cone or a leaf. Use it as a second pair of eyes. No account. No tracking. No data collected.
