⚠ Safety First

Never Consume Without Expert Identification

Mushroom identification requires expert knowledge. Many toxic species closely resemble edible ones. Even experienced foragers can make fatal mistakes. This app is a learning tool only — never consume any wild mushroom without verification from a qualified mycologist or expert.

Toxic Species Can Be Deadly

Some mushrooms contain toxins that cause severe illness or death, even in small quantities. Symptoms may appear hours or days after consumption. There is no universal test for mushroom toxicity — cooking, freezing, or other preparation methods do not eliminate toxins.

Seek Professional Guidance

If you are interested in foraging, take a course from a certified mycologist, join a local mushroom club with experienced members, or consult field guides specific to your region. Always verify identification with multiple sources before considering any mushroom for consumption.
