I started using this earlier this summer after we started receiving heavy rains, bringing on huge blooms of different species in our neighborhood. It’s not perfect, you should always get a second opinion from a professional before handling any mushroom. That being said, the crowdsourced learning algorithm is top-notch, and I have actually noticed it getting more accurate over the last 4 or so months that I’ve been using it. On a side note, I tend to go back and forth between the app and another on the market that provides a better forum for geotagging and networking with other shroomers. This app is far superior as far as identification goes.
I use this app every day! I either use it just to look through mushrooms for fun, play the quiz, to help identify mushrooms I find on my ‘shroom hunts, or to help someone else identify their mushrooms. I post every mushroom I find just to the amazing community of this app what I got! If you’re a mushroom enthusiast like myself, I implore you to get this app today! It’s so cute and sweet! And not to mention, there’s an optional purchase one can make that helps the creators make the app better, and I suggest spending the $5-8, but you can also use the free version. I love them both very much and only spent the money to help benefit the creator.
Cool app helpful to identify mushrooms the few I have tried seem accurate. Wish there was more to this. You can add a group location if you are there at the time you want to add it. Would be nice if there was a profile area and easier ways to discuss with a community that seems to be there. Really cool app with a one time unlock feature and very reasonably priced versus others I have tried.
I love that this app gives suggested species with photos. It has helped me id a ton. Obviously its not a mycologist and sometimes it gives the wrong species as suggestions, but for what its worth this has been a huge help. I wish that there was a wider variety of mushrooms to browse through personally. I love collecting mushrooms, poisonous, and not. It would be nice to have an encyclopedia of many more varieties. Aside from this, this has been a great app.
Me and my family were curious as to all the mushroom types growing in our lawn over the years, so I downloaded this app to find out more about them. We were very pleased to see that the app got both of the fungi types we uploaded Identified correctly, as well as gave us a lot of information on these organisms. Wonderful app, would download this again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
While I am not an expert and therefore cannot be certain that the suggestions always result in a correct identification, this app get me very close to being able to find out more information on mushrooms I’m finding and trying to identify. I’ve also learned more from the app about discernible features and what to look for. Definitely worth downloading!
The best thing about this app is being able to join the mushroom community and share discoveries. It’s cool to see what other people are finding. Of course, it’s not meant to replace your own research and you shouldn’t rely on a stranger’s opinion, obviously, but the more suggestions you get the more you will be able to narrow your specimens down to specific species.
I’m a total novice and thought it would be fun to learn a little about what’s growing in my yard. I got a sample, set it on a white napkin for contrast and submitted several pictures. The results that came back were massively different than what I found. Not even close! I kept digging and came up with something that was similar, so I clicked on it and after that, there was no way to back out to the results! The only way to look at other options was to start over. This app is as unhelpful as it is difficult to navigate.
So far, I have been pretty pleased with the app, having used it about a dozen times. It offers several choices based on images taken live or uploaded from my camera, and has been pretty spot-on 99% of the time. Handy item to have when foraging for a quick reference.
I have not used sufficiently. The interface could be improved. In my case although it suggested four Amanitas. None of the species was correct. The result could have improved by allowing more than two photos input and some more questions (?). Maybe there should be two options one could choose: beginner and more advanced.
Admittedly I’m only an amateur at mycology, but I find this app to have decent accuracy for most common fungi and some that are more rare. When I’m in doubt I ask a friend that has many years of experience in this field. The app warns you to do your own detailed research before ingesting. That’s good advice!
Gives me a good direction to search in when finding new mushrooms. Wish it also included the common names in addition to scientific ones. Also wish it allowed me to copy and paste the scientific name so I could search on my web browser, but I can’t highlight the name in order to copy/paste it.
I am sure it has potential. It might be good if you could choose an I think it’s this and then confirm location of this. For example… I think one of my fungi may be a Russella based on the photo but it would be goodif I could say it was found growing wild near Breckinridge Colorado. That might eliminate some options.
By far one of my favorite apps. Well designed, well above average accuracy. An exceptional app. It’s not about getting accurate results instantly, most fungi that’s impossible. It’s the design of this app that helps as part of a mycological toolbox.

A wonderful app if you’re looking to identify mushrooms in forests around your home! Bonus points for informing you of their dangers and calling you out if you plan to solely use it to eat said random mushrooms in the forest, lol :)
This is really a fantastic app, because it doesn’t just help identify mushrooms. It has a community of people you can ask to help identify your mushroom, a map to map out your findings, and even a challenge quiz to increase your knowledge of mushrooms! Love it.
Really good app. Gives you lots of options for choices and does a better job than most others. Not perfect with identifying but a lot easier than looking through hundreds of pictures
The identification process is pretty cool just needs a wider variety of species and more pictures haven’t been able to pin point but 1 out of about 8 different species but in their defense their are over thousands of different mushrooms other than that it’s free and most importantly easy to use
I’ve used this app a number of times, with a great deal of success! Today’s answer looked nothing like the pictures that I took, but usually it’s very informative
While the identifier is decent, (I wouldn’t put my life in its AI hands) the real gem is the identification quiz. Great to familiarize yourself with some of the species, with more mushrooms added in app updates. I don’t love the shooting star animation but I don’t know if that will stay!
I use this app to help me identify mushrooms while foraging. Although I rely on my own experience before I eat one, this app has consistently helped me expand my knowledge. I five star approve it.
This is a great app if you always have wild mushrooms popping up in the yard. Obviously, my family and I only eat mushrooms from the grocery store because we don’t want to $h¡t blood and die, but it’s nice to know what’s growing around us!
I love how user friendly this app is. Uploading pictures is simple and the app offers plenty of suggestions to narrow my results. I learn so much from this resource.
I love this app and use it all the time even though it gives internet links based on the photos, but that is enough to get started. AND it's really easy to use!
So far I am impressed. My initial experience warrants 5 stars - it identified a mushroom from my iPhone’s picture - a person holding the mushroom (no scanner needed) - correctly. We’ll done.
This app is awesome. It’s great to connect with people who are more knowledgable than I am and who can help identify mushrooms that I find. I have learned quite a bit from this app.
I am just getting started learning how to ID and harvest mushrooms. I like this app for it’s ID feature and the ability to mark a find and tag it on a map. Also I find the mushroom harvest calendar uniquely helpful.
Tried this app on a whim as it was really the only free option for mushroom identification. It works quite well. Get a good picture and you will likely get some good recommendations for your mushroom identity. Thank you for this fantastic app!
The first mushroom I looked up using two photographs (one tha I couldn’t find in books) was quickly found by this program. So, being asked to rate it at this point, I have to say it’s great!!!
I would not use it for positive identifications because my life may depend on a positive identification. I wish I could include spore print, more Gill identifiers, and surroundings of were it was found.
Great app but i would love for an update to fix the top of the screen being cut off. They need to either pull the menu down or modify for iphone X. I can only see half of the two side tabs and not the avoid tab at all!
Amazing !!! I tested it I looked up a picture of a psilocybe cubensis on google then screen showed it and cropped it to see how good this app worked an it was 100% correct so far love this app already!!!
Every mushroom I tried to identify by taking a photo, the app warns that identifying is only in beta. Why was I charged for something that admits it doesn’t really work yet!! And the pop-up asking you to take a second photo doesn’t allow you to choose Yes, only the No button works. I put zero faith in this app.
Don’t expect much from this cute little app. While limited it’s main benefit in my opinion is it’s data base identifying search feature, but after you photograph your mushroom and before you search, take a screen shot if you want the image saved.
Found some mushrooms in the woods and used this to find out more! Really fun and pretty accurate, better than just googling “brown mushroom skinny stalks in a clump together” :) thanks for the cool app!
Obviously no mushroom identification app is gonna be perfect but this ones pretty good. I do wish they had more of a gallery when you clicked on the mushroom though, because some photos don’t well represent the mushroom.
This app is super helpful if you’re wanting to learn different mushrooms. It’s not that accurate yet, but the suggestions offered are informative. I hope to see this app get much more advanced!
I’m rating this four stars because it’s not that accurate but maybe it’s because some mushrooms look different from others but their the same species but I still LOOVE IT ITS SO GOOD I CONSIDER GETTING IT
Champignouf allows you to identify automatically the species of a mushroom from a picture. Take a photo or upload directly from your gallery, and get an answer instantly ! Also included is a list of the most common edible mushrooms. For now it recognises more than 900 types of mushrooms. You can also save on a map the place where you found ceps, chanterelles, etc. Do you think you're a mushroom expert? Then take our quiz!
