Frequently asked questions
Practical answers about photo clues, mushroom safety limits, and using the app responsibly.
How accurate is the mushroom identification?
Fungio compares visible clues in your photos, such as cap shape, gills or pores, stem features, color, and habitat notes, to suggest likely mushroom groups or species. Treat every result as a first-pass identification aid, not a final safety decision. Some mushrooms require spore prints, microscopy, regional expertise, or poison-control guidance to verify.
What types of mushrooms can the app help identify?
The app can help organize and compare visual clues for many mushroom and fungi types, including common lawn mushrooms, woodland fungi, bracket fungi, and lookalike groups. It is designed for learning, documentation, and narrowing possibilities, while safety-critical questions should be checked with a qualified local expert.
How do I take the best photo for mushroom identification?
Photograph the cap, underside, stem, base, and surrounding habitat in clear natural light. Include a size reference, avoid blurry close-ups, and take several angles before moving the mushroom. Habitat details, nearby trees, and recent weather often matter as much as color.
Can the app tell me if a mushroom is safe to eat?
No app should be used as the only source for edibility or poisoning decisions. Fungio can help document visible clues and possible matches, but you should not eat, serve, or handle unknown wild mushrooms based only on a photo result. Contact a local mycologist, extension service, veterinarian, or poison-control resource when safety matters.
How does the subscription work?
Subscriptions are billed weekly or annually at the rate selected in your subscription plan. The subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage your subscription through your device's app store settings.
What features are included in the Premium subscription?
Premium subscribers get expanded access to mushroom photo analysis, identification history, detailed species information, habitat and season notes, and educational articles. These features support mushroom learning and documentation, but they do not replace expert verification for safety-sensitive decisions.
Can I track my identified mushrooms?
Yes. The app keeps an identification history so you can revisit photos, notes, and likely matches. This helps you compare future finds and build a personal learning record over time.
How is my data and privacy protected?
Photos you upload are used for identification and app improvement according to the privacy policy. Your personal information and collection data are protected and are not shared with third parties without your consent except where described in the policy.
