Roger Phillips Mushrooms Lite
Free AppAbout Roger Phillips Mushrooms Lite
Note: This is the 'lite' version of Rogers Mushrooms. It offers the same functionality as the Pro version of the same app, and therefore allows you to test the app before buying the Pro version.
The Lite version of the app stores a much smaller selection of mushrooms within its database than the Pro version described below.
This application offers the most complete series of wild mushrooms and other fungi across Europe and North America. It features over 2,500 photographs of 1,560 fungi species, including edible, hallucinogenic, poisonous mushrooms, truffles, puffballs and brackets and is the perfect guide for identifying mushrooms. The species have been collected in the wild by Roger Phillips and other senior mycologists from both America and Europe. The images show each mushroom from many different angles, and often in their different stages of maturity to aid identification. Also included are descriptive keys, details of size, shape, color, habitat, and symbols to indicate edibility.
Features:
* No internet connection needed
* Detailed texts on over 1,500 mushrooms including scientific names, synonyms (including European names)
* Over 2,600 photographs, all zoomable using tap-to-zoom
* Full database list with facility to search texts to find strings (e.g. common names)
* Search by: Visual Appearance, Edibility (choice, edible, inedible, hallucinogenic, poisonous, and deadly), Fungus Colour, Normal Size, Cap Type, Stem Type, Flesh, and Habitat
* Search by over 50 individual mushroom attributes with numbers of exact and partial matches returned customizable
* Color/symbols for at-a-glance check of edibility
* Naming: The common names of the different mushrooms are also included together with French and German and other important names, the Latin names are all included.
* Save species to ‘favorites’
* Texts include details of microscopic analysis of spores for greater accuracy of identification

I tried MULTIPLE searches, and didn't have a single success. I described at least a dozen common mushrooms, that I later found by browsing for them, so I know they are in the database. I also entered several common names. Neither was successful. The only positive I have is the descriptions and pictures are well done. That's the only reason it did not get one star.

Have the book which is excellent. But the app is awful. Will assume paid for app is exactly the same as free app. Why when Fungitron can get it spot on you cannot ???? Have bought subscription to them purely due to their search options. I look forward to re reading a reply to this.

Don't even thinkb of using this app as you sole guide to finding edible wild mushrooms. Get books instead, several of them or better yet several books and time spent with a knowledgeable guide.

Just to enlighten, a photo identification feature would be inaccurate and dangerous considering that some species look almost identical to each other.

A total disappointment. I own eight of Roger Phillips' books and I was expecting that level of quality and detail. There are very few mushrooms included, just one species of Boletus, one Lactarius, and three Amanitas. It looks like less that 50 mushrooms total. And it crashed the second time I used it. After trying this program, I'm convinced I don't want to buy the full version.

Somebody should make an app where you can take a picture of any mushroom on your phone and the app will identify it for you to make things easier/fast

There are over 180 species of mushrooms which contain the psychedelics psilocybin or psilocin. The paid version of this app only shows 6 of them, the free version only shows 3 of them. I would have uninstalled and gotten a refund but it was over the 15 minute limit. I will change my rating if more species are added.

Not very useful at all. No ability to search by shape renders much of it useless. Colour alone is too subjective. I'll stick to carrying a book
