MycoIdent - a wild European mushroom identifier and encyclopedia
Features MycoIdent
MycoIdent is a mushroom identifier and encyclopedia particularly well suited to amateurs who wish to identify wild mushrooms, without any previous knowledge or equipment.

All will be able to improve their expertise in a playful way, thanks to an identification quiz with increasing difficulty proposing more than 600 species with field details randomly selected.MycoIdent proposes an innovative fuzzy logic search engine to help identify mushrooms with pores or gills, generally much harder to identify than others.Done with being lost in a determination key because of a barely visible character!
Thanks to its simple and easy to understand questions, youll quickly get a list of the most relevant candidates corresponding to your unknown mushroom.Any doubt about the answer to give to one of the questions?
a detailed help will guide you through with real examples...
You dont know what to answer at all?

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"Pointless app!!!"
Alicia Savoie
"Found this app by mistake(why so hard to find out in store search?) By far the best mushrooms app ever found.. Mushrooms database is pretty complete (living in Italy)..I'd like to see more of the missing pics.. Interface very easy, allowing me to find immediately what I'm looking for.. Would be very nice to have the possibility to add my pics directly to the gallery..in the way I can customize (or add if missing) the main pic for any mushroom P. S. Why Armillaria Mellea to discard? Nice job!"

"I need to be refunded my money...every mushroom i looked up did not have a picture...then i got a mushroom with black spores and it would not let me know what kind it was...plus i live in the us...this isnt for mushrooms in my area.. it told me that ..the content was blocked..when i got a mushroom that had black spores So i tried again and it still keeps telling me blocked criteria"

"So far so good. I tested the identification with a few of my recent findings and the results were accurate, better than the iKnow Mushrooms PRO 2 app. It's nice that you can also search for mushrooms by several European names too. You can add your own locations of sightings, as well as the ability to add your own photos to the different mushroom species. A couple of things that could be improved... Once you've clicked through the options to identify a mushroom, and you try to start over, it won't clear the results unless you tap back continuously until you reach the first question. It would be better if it just reset. Searching the database for keywords doesn't work with any names, literally just keywords like 'poisonous', which is confusing. When searching the database you can currently only scroll through names, no photos. Another thing is that there's an option to add a location via the species page but it didn't work for me. Lastly I tried to search for Fomitopsis pinicola (Red belted polypore) and its not there. I then tried to look at which bracket fungi were included and there are only around 5. In short, identification tool is certainly useful providing your finding is listed in the database. Database could be expanded and app usability could be further improved. Hopefully this will be improved in future versions and updates."

"A good identification app, what let's it down is that you can't brows the data Base like flicking the pages of a book. You have to go through the identification steps before you can get to any fungi."
