An AI-powered tool to help you identify mushrooms.

Yes.

Yes. This is not an app but you can view the webpage in your browser. Click “choose file” to take a picture with your phone then press “identify.”

Click “identify” again to give it another try. Sometimes re-running the analysis provides better results.

Over 300 species and counting. Non-US species are currently not on the list. Plus, only basic Boletes are included.

An ideal mushroom picture for the ID purpose would contain as many key identifying parts as possible: cap, stem, ring, gills, pores. We understand an ideal image is nearly impossible, but try to include at least two parts, such as the cap and the stem.

No. All uploaded pictures will be automatically deleted from the server once the identification is done.

FungusID does not tell edibility so you have to figure out yourself. Some linked websites and our youtube videos may contain such information.

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 and more expensive server, which is not feasible for us now. Before we are able to upgrade, crop your photo if it is larger than 5 MB.
