Mushroom Identifier - Mushby

Mushby is your pocket mycologist — an expert mushroom identifier that helps you explore the fungal kingdom with confidence. Snap a photo of any mushroom you find on a hike, in your backyard, or at the farmers market, and get a detailed identification in seconds. Mushby combines advanced visual recognition with deep mycological knowledge to deliver accurate species matches, edibility ratings, habitat details, and crucial safety warnings. IDENTIFY MUSHROOMS INSTANTLY Point your camera at any mushroom and let Mushby do the work. Our advanced recognition engine analyzes cap shape, gill structure, spore print color, stem characteristics, and habitat context to narrow down the species. Each identification includes a confidence score, look-alike alerts for toxic species, and a comprehensive species profile covering taxonomy, ecology, culinary uses, and medicinal properties. STAY SAFE WITH LOOK-ALIKE ALERTS Foraging is rewarding, but misidentification can be dangerous. Mushby highlights poisonous look-alikes for every identification so you never confuse an edible species with a toxic one. Color-coded safety indicators and detailed comparison charts give you the clarity you need before you pick, cook, or taste anything from the wild.
