Mushroom Guide for Pc

I have been using an old app, RMushroom. It will no longer be compatible with future iOS versions. I decided to try out this app. Not disappointed. The drawings are excellent and the short descriptions include line drawings of the key Id points - type of cap, shape of stalk. What I love is the ability to get more in depth information by clicking on the menu in the right corner. The private map feature is also a great way to record history of the app forays. I hope the catalog is continually added to. Right now there are 105 species to choose from. Would recommend.

This app is beautifully done, with each the app illustrated and explained. I truly do appreciate the work that has been put into this app, but I wish I hadn’t bought it. As a complete beginner in the study of mushrooms, I have found it a little unhelpful. The app currently showcases 105 species. I live in the Rocky Mountains and hoped it would help me identify some of the fungi I have found recently. While the app does have some mushrooms well known in this region (morels, for example), it didn’t have any of the ones I wanted to identify. So I’m thinking, perhaps, this app focuses on mushrooms from other regions. It mentions “coastal” locations a lot, so perhaps it would be a better fit for people living on the coast. I think it would be extraordinarily helpful if the descriptions of the mushrooms said what regions they can be found in, and possibly even divided them into groups accordingly. The descriptions of the mushrooms also contain a lot of descriptive words that only people advanced in this hobby or study will understand. I fully understand the decision to do this, but it’s not helpful for someone who is just walking through the woods taking pictures of mushrooms and wondering what they’re called. I think the app would be far more helpful to beginners if it simply contained a small glossary section explaining what each term means. That way we could learn the terminology as we go along. In the end, I do believe this is a beautiful little app, and would prove very useful if you are searching for mushrooms in the right regions, if you are well acquainted with the terminology, and/or if you just want to look at some really lovely art. If it were a printed book instead of an app, I would absolutely want to own it for the illustrations alone. But for my specific purposes, I would have been better off putting my money toward a regional this app book.

I absolutely love shrooms! This guide is helpful, and I love it. The artworks great, and very factual. I like that it simple, and pleasant. So 5+ stars from me. (:

There’s no search feature aside from visually scanning thru all the illustrations
