Shroomify - Mushroom ID USA Reviews

by A F'n N

And there is no way to change the location setting. No app icon shows up in my Settings and there is no option to change location on Shroomify . My phone is set to not track location. But even turning location back on, it still shows for the UK. So, I deleted it.

I am using an iPhone SE. Maybe it doesn't work properly with the more limited phone options that affords?

Either way, even using the identification feature limits the options to what grows in the UK. So this is not useful at all to me.

I like the fact that there are links to references. I like the presence of multiple photos. Shroomify located your area and gives you an immediate listing of mushrooms to be most often encountered in your area for the particular month you are in. Decent identification guide with similar species listed. Links for these similars with photos should readily available.
I always type in Amanita thiersii for specific identification on these apps and when nothing comes up that is a huge red flag for me and should be for others interested in foraging. The parasol will inevitably be investigated by users of any mushroom identification app and all look alike should be thoroughly outlined and referenced.
I hope my four dollar donation will help in the correction of this obvious issue.

Not worth paying for the $4 upgrade. It only adds a few pics that are barely any more helpful than the free amount. I’d like to be able to zoom, I’d like more pics, and I’d like to search by region. There needs to be a way to look at a region map that the community can update so users can share common locations of discovered shrooms (this could be a paid feature)

It’s got the basic down if I had to change anything it would be having lists by location but otherwise pretty good

Shroomify doesn't require in-app purchases like most other identification apps. I recently joined a foraging group and was having trouble identifying mushrooms or keeping up with the lingo, but Shroomify has helped me and educated me so much! Shroomify is organized and efficient, I believe even the smallest of children would understand how to navigate the system.

I love Shroomify but would love it if you don't need premium to see more than one picture.

I’m new to shroom hunting so I would really love if Shroomify had the ability to tell me what mushrooms grow in my location.

by Bigmouth10

Just beginning to use Shroomify . The information seems very complete. The photos help a lot!

I go hiking in the forest and saw many mushrooms. I wanted to know what they were so I downloaded Shroomify. It is very accurate and I know if it is dangerous or not.

by Sarin Satanas

This is a true field guide! Full of SUCH great information including seasonality, environment, edibility, toxicity, or psychoactive effects. Lists similar species and defining features including spore print to facilitate positive ID. Don’t go hiking without it!

I recently bought three mushroom books. Shroomify has more practicality than all three books. I’m loving it!

by Me2Trixie

One of my favorite foraging apps! I love how it tells you what may be common, by the month. Great helpful pictures for IDing, as well as written descriptions.

by Wronglebowski1986

Great app. I would like to buy the premium version for the cost of a cup of coffee but nothing happens when I click on it.

by Jjr9337

I never leave reviews but I absolutely love Shroomify! It’s very well organized and quite informative. It’s also quite visually appealing. I am an intermediate mushroom forager and I love that it has more of some less common mushrooms. This is a excellent app for quick reference out in the forest.

If you’re curious about a mushroom you found or like to forage, Shroomify is great! There are many steps in the identification that are simple and easy. My only criticism is that you need to pay money to see a second photo of any shroom, which is annoying but understandable.

by Dinamoaly

This is an amazing app. I am a novice at foraging but I see so many different kinds of mushroom where I now live and I have always been curious which ones are edible. Shroomify has helped me to stay away from the potentially poisonous mushrooms and Reade arch and learn about the potentially edible ones!! 5+ stars from me!!

by Leafstang

This is exactly what I needed for helping hunting mushrooms, and with fair cost. I hunting mushroom weekly, and Shroomify provides all the information of edible mushrooms for me to make a decision with one time fair payment! Not crazy periodic payment like some other apps.

by Plucknut

I like Shroomify for three reasons:
1) It gives you geographical and season specific information which makes identification so much easier.
2) The layout makes finding info very easy
3) The largest plus is no intrusive adds that reduce the functionality of Shroomify .

by AnnMC.

I love to hike when the weather allows, and Shroomify is a MUST. It’s always nice to be able to learn more about the things that grow in your area, and this is by far the best app I have found for it. There’s literally nothing wrong with it in my opinion, all I’d want is a bigger database. Download it for fun, and your curiosity will grow from here.

I have found Shroomify to be very interesting. It’s allowed me to consider other mushroom species I’ve never tried before and opened my eyes to a great many new mushrooms I previously overlooked. I like the way it is formatted.

by Ahsnsa

I can’t get off the page where they what you to sign up for premium. It was my first try but I got huge up nonetheless.

by Njfsa

Not very helpful in the field😐
2stars -it jumped to three stars when I put in two.

by Volklv3carver

I have not used this yet to identify a mushroom but I do enjoy categorizing them into likely to find in a month and edible/choice.

Looking forward to attempting using this in the field.

by J Grock

Great app

by IPhone Addiction 101

Perfect for the modern forager.

by Masons Nickname

Simple yet sophisticated

by Usndjd

Cool app helps me a lot but they need to add more mushrooms!

by Broken-weathered

Instantly fell in love. Had been trying to identify a mushroom and was having no luck. Shroomify instantly found it. Turns out it was a lions mane.

by Shrek's Cousin

This is so great the identification is amazing my swamp is full of mushrooms

by Rajajaaja

Pretty accurate but I wouldn’t rely on it.

by Silvercíd

Seems pretty useful. The name of Shroomify indicates that is for species in the USA, however at the bottom it says Shroomify is using a UK data set?

by Guhguyguyg

Yes
