Material Detail

This site can be used to identify mushrooms.  It is a tool designed to assist you in identifying mushrooms.  Keep in mind that the database includes only a small subset of local mushrooms.  While it may not cover the mushroom you are looking for, it can still help identify the mushroom genus.  Before using this tool, it is highly recommended that users make a spore print of the mushroom you wish to identify, as the tool relies on knowing the spore print colour. For additional information and guidance, you can read the beginner's guide to mushroom identification basics.  Also, consider that identifying mushrooms is non-trivial, and there's a significant chance, especially for beginners, that you might get the ID wrong. Never consume a mushroom based on the result obtained by using this tool.
