FungusID does NOT provide information on edibility. However, you could find the answer by clicking the wiki icon in the results panel, or from our youtube videos.
USE CAUTION. WE CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENCES DUE TO MISIDENTIFICATION.
Probably because your image is bigger than 5 MB–currently our server cannot handle images larger than that. Please consider resizing your image and try it again.
Currently, we pay a $15/month sever maintenance fee to process images up to 5 MB. Accepting even larger images requires a better but more expensive server. Before we are able to upgrade, crop your photo if it is larger than 5 MB.
