Identify by photo

Snap a wild mushroom and get a likely match with its common and scientific name, family, and type — plus a clear confidence level.

Real field detail

Cap, gills or pores, stem, spore print, habitat, and season — explained in plain language so you learn what to look at and why.

Edibility & toxic look-alikes

A color-coded edibility status and the dangerous twins to watch for. Many edible mushrooms have deadly look-alikes — we point them out.

Audio field guide

Hands-free narration of how to identify each find — and how to stay safe — so you can keep your eyes on the mushroom and the trail.

Foraging journal

Save your finds into a personal log — species, notes, and dates — so you can revisit what you spotted and track the season.

Private & 15 languages

Fully localized with safety information in every language, a minimal-data philosophy, and clear controls. We never sell your data.

Loved by curious foragers

Real voices from our community

Beginners, hikers, and seasoned foragers use Shroomlens to learn faster — and to know when to walk away.

I finally understand what to look at — the gills, the stem, the spore print. The toxic look-alike warnings made me put a few back, and I'm glad I did.

Great for teaching my kids what's out there on a walk. We treat every result as a starting point and still check with our local mushroom group before anything goes in a basket.

Even as a longtime forager I reach for it to double-check an ID in the field. It's a fast second opinion — never my only one.

An identification app is a brilliant way to learn — and a dangerous way to decide what to eat. Here is why every wild mushroom needs a human expert before it reaches your plate.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about Shroomlens — and how to forage safely.

Can I eat a mushroom because Shroomlens identified it?
No. Shroomlens is an educational and reference tool, not a safety device. AI identification can be wrong, and many edible mushrooms have deadly look-alikes. Never eat a wild mushroom based on the app — always confirm in person with a qualified mycologist or local mycological society, and check with poison control before consuming anything.
How accurate is the identification?
Shroomlens uses AI to suggest the most likely species and always shows a confidence level alongside safety information. Clear, well-lit photos of the cap, gills, and stem give the best results. Treat every result as a starting point for learning, never a final answer about edibility.
Do I need an account?
You can identify mushrooms without an account. Signing in (by email code or Sign in with Apple) lets us save your finds to a personal journal across devices — optional, never forced.
What information does each result include?
Common and scientific name, family and type, and field detail like cap, gills or pores, stem, spore print, habitat, and season — plus a color-coded edibility status and the toxic look-alikes to watch for.
Is my data private?
Your finds belong to you. To identify a mushroom, your photo is sent to our backend and to Google's Gemini AI for analysis and is stored so it can appear in your saved finds. We do not sell your personal information, and you can delete your account and data from within the app at any time.
How many languages does it support?
Shroomlens is fully localized in 15 languages, with the safety information included in every one.
