Really need more. Nearly every mushroom I have looked up. They had no results. Very frustrating for 13 bucks.
Loved it on GS5, won't unpack file of any size on GS6. Update, got it to unpack, but should not be complicated.
Where are the mushrooms, from a to z?
Very helpful!
Love it!
This is truly the best android app I have ever used as far as user interface is concerned. While mushroom id is still very difficult and will require further home study, this app at least helps you in the field to narrow down to a particular family or genus and ascertain likely edibility/danger before you load your basket full. It's certainly more useful than any of the books, of which there are none which are both field guide sized and provide edibility status. Highly, highly recommended. Phone friendly. Tablet friendly. HD images. Excellent taxonomic classification. Good search/filter features (specific spore colour and microscopic features would be great in future version, but obviously of no use in aiding in field study). Has all the common UK species being Europe-oriented. The only negative is a UI glitch which causes the drawer on the right to re-open after navigating away and then pressing the back button, which has to be closed again. A minor annoyance, certainly not a reason not to buy the app. This app should win an award for its well thought out premium user interface which was obviously worked very hard on, and is much appreciated - a rarity for android apps, even paid.
Works well. Still figuring out the processes. Has 300 types... I want more
It seems any standard mushroom field guide would be better. The number of mushrooms is limited. The quizzes are too easy. This was a waste of money.
Pretty good but crashes sometimes
It's great when walking out in the woods
I enjoy the app. It's fun to navigate. They have a fast responding support staff.
Great Resource
Paid and downloaded tho Hudl2 and downloaded files, then transferred to SD card. Only showing 8 species - more than £1 each at that price! Maybe it's my tablet at fault as the other reviews suggest a different experience but I grabbed a refund before it was too late

Great pictures and ID information!
Great help in the field and the pic's are fabulous
I love the fact that it has detailed descriptions along with clear color photos. This is an amazing resource.
Super cool, an app with a build in community to share pictures and mushroom locations ... and even get help if you can't identify a mushroom by yourself. In addition you have all this mushroom knowledge and pictures always in your pocket. Love it.
Pretty darn good - it is a five star compared to anything else out there, but I still find myself standing in the woods flipping through the photos unsure.
Very nice update, now with a mushroom community to share pictures and get help if you have trouble identifying mushrooms.Super app for mushroom picking. Lots of information, great pictures and a feature that really helps to identify mushrooms. I can only recommend this app.
Great Resource
I will never go out to collect mushrooms with a book ever again. Its just so much more convenient with this app. You have it always on you, now need for some heavy book. It has a feature especially designed to help you identify mushrooms … and at the end you can even play a mushroom quiz game if you like.
