AI Identification

Describe what you see or snap a photo. Our AI analyses your mushroom against 268 UK species and provides a detailed, safety-aware identification with confidence levels and lookalike warnings.

Pro

Offline Field Guide

No signal? No problem. The rule-based engine works entirely offline, narrowing identifications to genus level from structured observations. Perfect for the woods where connectivity fails.

Free

Learn & Train

Build your mycology knowledge with spaced-repetition flashcards tailored to what's in season. Track your competency across species groups and watch your confidence grow over time.

Free

Seasonal Species

See which species you're likely to encounter right now, based on the current month and UK fruiting seasons. Plan your forays with the seasonal calendar.

Free

Safety First

Every identification comes with safety warnings, toxic lookalike alerts, and clear edibility ratings. The system is designed to err on the side of caution — because when in doubt, leave it out.

How it works

1

Describe or photograph

Tell the AI what you see — cap shape, colour, gill type, habitat — or attach a photo. The more detail you provide, the more accurate the result.

2

Get an identification

The AI generates candidates, cross-references them against the 268-species dataset, checks for dangerous lookalikes, and responds with a safety-aware identification.

3

Refine in conversation

Not sure? Keep chatting. Provide additional details, answer follow-up questions, or send another photo. Each exchange narrows the identification further.

4

Learn and improve

Use the spaced-repetition training to build lasting knowledge. The system tracks what you know and focuses your practice on seasonal, relevant species.

A learning tool, not a field verdict

Fungus Foray is designed to support your mycology learning. It is not a definitive identification guide. Always cross-reference with authoritative field guides, consult experienced foragers, and never eat any wild mushroom based solely on this app.
