About Mycoscout: Mushroom Identifier
Mycoscout tells you whether a wild mushroom is safe to eat — and it tells you first, before anything else. THE VERDICT COMES FIRST Most apps make you hunt for the part that matters. Mycoscout leads with it: a full-width edibility verdict at the top of every result. "Deadly — do not eat." "Edible — verify before eating." You never have to go looking for it. WE SAY SO WHEN WE ARE NOT SURE An identifier that is always confident is an identifier you cannot trust. Mycoscout shows a real confidence level on every match. When it is low or medium, it says so plainly, shows you the other candidates, and offers you one more photo — free, without spending an identification. FOUR ANGLES, NOT ONE BLURRY GUESS Cap. Gills. Stem. Habitat. Mycoscout walks you through each one and explains why it matters, because gill spacing and a ring at the stem base are exactly what separate a good dinner from a hospital visit. An on-device check catches a blurry or dark frame before it is used — and tells you what the blur is costing you. DANGEROUS LOOK-ALIKES, NAMED Every result lists the species most often confused with your find, what makes them different, and the features to check yourself before you trust any of it. BUILT FOR THE WOODS • Your finds are saved on your device • Results in 22 languages, including the species notes — not just the buttons • No account required to start HONEST LIMITS Mycoscout is a field companion, not a mycologist. AI identification can be wrong, especially on uncommon species and poor photos. Never eat a wild mushroom on the strength of any app, this one included. Confirm with a local expert. Misidentification can be fatal. Pro unlocks unlimited identifications and your full history.
