Ever spotted a mushroom in the wild and wondered what it was? ShroomSnap uses AI to identify mushrooms, fungi, and toadstools instantly from a photo. IDENTIFY MUSHROOMS & FUNGI Simply take a photo or choose one from your library. Our AI analyzes the specimen's cap shape, color, gill structure, and features to identify it — from common chanterelles to deadly death caps. TOXICITY WARNINGS Every identification includes a 5-level toxicity rating (Deadly, Toxic, Caution, Unknown, Low Risk) with clear safety tips. ShroomSnap NEVER tells you a mushroom is safe to eat — every result advises consulting a professional mycologist. BUILD YOUR COLLECTION Save every identified mushroom to your personal collection. Track species, view toxicity levels, and see your growing catalog of discoveries on the Collection Map. MUSHROOM FIELD GUIDE Browse 60+ mushroom species with high-quality images and detailed profiles including toxicity level, habitat, rarity, and fun facts. Key Features: - AI-powered mushroom and fungus identification - 5-level toxicity rating system with safety tips - Camera and photo library support - Personal mushroom collection with details - 60+ species in built-in field guide - Collection map to track safe species discoveries - Mandatory first-launch safety disclaimer - Works on iPhone and iPad - No account required - All data stored locally on your device IMPORTANT: This app is for educational purposes only. Never eat wild mushrooms based on app identification alone. AI identification may not always be accurate. Many deadly mushrooms closely resemble safe species. Always consult a qualified mycologist. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, biology student, mushroom hobbyist, or just curious about a fungus you found on a hike, ShroomSnap is your pocket mycology guide. Privacy: No account required. No tracking. No ads. All data stored locally on your device. Photos are only processed for identification and are never stored on any server. Read our full Privacy Policy in-app or at our website.
