Mushrooms This authoritative and easy-to-use guide features 570 types of North American mushrooms, with nearly 700 photographs, text descriptions to help identify mushroom species, and robust search functions to aid in species identification. Utilizing the latest iOS technologies, you can: • Search by name (common and scientific) using either keyboard or verbal search systems; type or speak all or part of a mushroom’s name to search for its detailed account. • Organize species alphabetically or taxonomically. • Search by shape, habitat, region, color, size, time of year, mushroom structure—or any combination. • Touch to open any or all of the text sections and to enlarge photos to aide with identification in the field. • Take notes and upload photos to keep a digital journal of your observations and share them with family, friends, and our growing online community.
 Each species account contains: • description with identification details • habitat description • range information • discussion about the species’ history, edibility or toxicity (if known), and other notable characteristics • seasonality • taxonomic Order information • photos of similar species with links to those species’ accounts • links to additional information for every species Disclaimer: Some wild mushrooms are known to be poisonous and deadly. Never eat a wild mushroom unless you are certain of its identification.
