Mushroom ID: Lookalike Guide

Point your camera at a wild mushroom: what it probably is, how sure we are, and the deadly species it could be confused with. Never eat one on an app's word.

Point your camera at a wild mushroom and get a straight answer: what it probably is, how sure we are, and which species it may be confused with.

WE TELL YOU WHEN WE ARE NOT SURE Most identifiers return one confident name for any photo, including photos with no mushroom in them. This one gives a confidence figure, lists more than one candidate when the photo allows more than one answer, and says when the picture is too blurry or too close to call. If a second photo would settle it, it tells you what that photo needs to show.

LOOKALIKES COME FIRST Every result lists the species yours could be mistaken for, the deadly ones at the top, with a plain note on how to tell them apart. Spore print colour, gill attachment, the base of the stem: the checks that actually decide it.

A FIELD GUIDE THAT WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL The guide lives on your phone, so it opens in a wood with no bars. It is sorted worst first, so the species that can hurt you are the ones you see.

KEEP YOUR FINDS Every identification is saved with its photo, the date and the time. Add your own notes to any of them and find them again later.

An app is not a mycologist. This one is built to be honest about uncertainty rather than to sound confident, but no camera app can make a wild mushroom safe. Privacy Policy: https://omytap.com/privacy-policy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula
