Get to know the mushrooms you forage.
Every species in full detail: how to recognise it, where and when it grows, what it can be mistaken for, and how to pick and cook it - the reasoning shown plainly, kept in a journal that learns your spots season after season.
A reference & learning tool - never an edibility guarantee.
- 773
- species, in full detail
- 5
- edibility tiers, choice to deadly
- 436
- flagged for deadly look-alikes
Curated reference entries - not a photo-ID label count. Comparable in scope to a classic printed field guide, deeper than any forager app we know of.
Two ways to know your mushrooms
A curated walk through the mushrooms of your region - the edibles worth filling a basket with, and the deadly ones you must be able to recognise. Calm, honest, never a guarantee.
773 species in full detail - appearance, habitat, season, look-alikes and edibility. Search it, or flip the lettered tabs like a card index.
What makes Mushroom Hunt different
A real field guide, not a photo guess
Every species gets full reference detail - appearance, habitat, season, picking and cooking - in more depth than leading field-guide apps. It never identifies a mushroom from a photo, because guessing is how people get hurt.
Look-alike safety most apps don't offer
A confusion safety graph links each species to its dangerous twins - so the question is never just "what is this" but "what could this be mistaken for".
Where and when it actually grows
Region-aware likelihood for your forest type plus weather-based fruiting timing - the rain and soil temperature behind every estimate, shown plainly.
Everything a foraging season needs
Your private spots
Save where you found what, and when. Spots stay private to you - share only what you choose.
A multi-year find journal
Log each find with species, stage and habitat. Over seasons, your spots learn their own timing.
When, this year
Weather-aware fruiting conditions per spot - the rain and soil-temperature behind every estimate, shown plainly.
What grows near you
Habitat-likelihood for your forest type and season, with the reasoning - a learning tool, never a guarantee.
A world field guide
A per-species encyclopedia with appearance, habitat, look-alikes and edibility - region-aware.
Connect with foragers
Share finds, follow friends, and chat - with reporting and blocking built in.
Mushroom Hunt is a reference and learning tool. It never identifies a mushroom for you and never guarantees that anything is safe to eat. Many edible species have dangerous look-alikes. Never eat a mushroom you are not 100% sure of, and always cook wild mushrooms.
