ForagePin vs Truffle Forage Notes

Save private mushroom spots on your own iPhone and find them again when you return to the field. ForagePin lets you save your current location with an optional photo, label and field note. Browse your finds on a map or in a list, filter them by month or label, and reopen, edit or delete a saved spot. Your saved spot records stay on this iPhone. ForagePin does not publish locations, identify mushrooms or provide edibility advice.

Truffle is a personal foraging journal and mushroom reference for anyone who loves exploring forests and fields. Log every find with species name, date, GPS-free location label, quantity, habitat type, and personal notes — building a living record of your foraging seasons. Browse the built-in catalog of 20 common mushrooms, from prize edibles like Chanterelle, King Bolete, and Morel to dangerous species including Death Cap and Destroying Angel. Each species entry includes edibility rating, peak season, typical habitat, flavor notes, and clearly listed lookalikes so you can study the differences before you go out. The Seasons tab gives you a month-by-month calendar view: tap any month to see every species in the catalog that typically fruits that time of year, sorted by edibility. Great for planning a foraging trip or simply learning what to look for in each season. IMPORTANT SAFETY DISCLAIMER: Truffle is a REFERENCE and JOURNALING app only. It is NOT a mushroom identification tool. Never eat any foraged mushroom based solely on this app or any digital reference. Mushroom identification requires expert in-person verification. Many edible species have deadly lookalikes. Always consult a trained mycologist or local foraging expert before consuming any wild mushroom. The developers accept no responsibility for any harm arising from the use of this app. Features: - Log unlimited finds: species, date, location, quantity, habitat, notes - Built-in catalog of 20 species — edible, inedible, toxic, and deadly - Edibility ratings: Choice, Edible, Edible with Caution, Inedible, Toxic, Deadly - Lookalike warnings on every species entry - Month-by-month seasons calendar with species counts - Searchable species catalog - Fully offline — no account, no ads, no tracking
