Frequently asked questions
What is Mushie?
Mushie (listed on the App Store as "Mushroom Identifier & Guide") is an iPhone app that suggests possible mushroom matches from a photo, shows look-alike warnings, offers a species library and an AI guide, and lets you keep a personal field book of finds.
Is Mushie free?
Mushie is free to download, with limited free use of photo identification and the AI guide. Optional Premium subscriptions expand access. Plans and prices are shown in the app.
Can Mushie tell me if a mushroom is safe to eat?
No. Mushie gives possible matches and learning information only. A photo cannot establish whether a mushroom is safe to eat. Never eat a wild mushroom based on an app result; have it confirmed in person by a qualified local expert.
Which devices does Mushie support?
Mushie runs on iPhone with iOS 17 or later and is available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish.
How do I identify a mushroom with a photo?
Take a clear photo of the cap, the underside and the whole stem including the base. Mushie suggests possible species and the features to check next. Then compare against a field guide and confirm with an expert.
Not sure what you found?
Photograph it with Mushie for possible matches, look-alike warnings and an AI guide for follow-up questions. Results are suggestions, never a safe-to-eat verdict.
