Mushroom Checker looks at a photo of your find and tells you which species it is probably looking at, which species it could be confusing it with, and what you should check on the mushroom yourself. It is a reference tool for foragers. It is not a food safety test. Mushroom Checker is a subscription app. It opens with a 3-day free trial that covers up to 10 identifications, then USD 4.99 per week or USD 39.99 per year with no limit on identifications.

WHAT YOU GET BACK - The top match with a confidence score, and the other species your photo could be. - Family, genus and habitat of the top match, with a link to read more. - Dangerous lookalikes of that species, marked with what reference data records as toxic and where that record comes from. - A "check yourself" li…
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be.

The accent colour we picked up, #5CB474, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
