MycoIdent Lite

MycoIdent Lite is particularly well suited to amateurs, without any previous knowledge or equipment, who wish to identify fleshy mushrooms with pores such as ceps and boletes. It is also particularly efficient for more experienced mycologists, thanks to its database containing more than 100 species of the most common ceps and boletes (900 of the most common species of fungi in the Premium version).

MycoIdent Lite proposes an innovative fuzzy logic search engine to help identify mushrooms with pores (or gills with the Premium version), 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, you'll 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 don't know what to answer at all? No problem, the engine will do without!
It is even capable of taking into account potential mistakes you could make on the most complex criteria.
Mycoident is also an encyclopedia solely made out from material published by renowned experts of the field. It provides its own original material such as a descriptions of all species of the database (together with published references used), and when available, photographs of mushrooms identified by field experts, which will help you confirm your identification.

The revenues generated by the premium version will support a non-profit wildlife conservation association (CERF), recognised as promoting the public interest by the French authorities.(http://www.cerf78.fr/).

This lite version is totally free and is also free of advertisements. Please consider making a donation to CERF! (https://donnerenligne.fr/cerf-centre-d-etudes-de-rambouillet-et-de-sa-foret)
