Easy Mushroom  identification with FungiOz App

1.  Press a Fungi Collection icon to match
your mushroom's main
features

Entries are grouped in five collections, each with an icon on the main menu.
 
Fungi With Gills
Fungi With Pores
Spines Jellies & Others 
Globular Fungi
Corals, Clubs and Spikes

So pressing the Gills icon for example, produces a list of categories within the Gills Collection as shown below.

2a. Fungi identification via the Search Bar

Picture
At the top of each collection and category page of FungiOz app you will see a search bar.

Here you can enter a single keyword that describes a feature of the mushroom you want to identify.   

  • Various keywords will produce a result but just type one per search or you will get a "not found" result.

  • Red for example, will display all the mushroom species that are red in some way. Usually,  it will be a red cap. The red could also refer to gills, stem, or even the colour  of bruising on the gills of the mushroom. .  

  • Typing "Red cap" will produce "no result".

  • Mushroom species names also act as keywords. So typing Russula for example will display all the Russulas.

  • If the search produces a mushroom with no red it will be  because the letters red are part of a word in a  species' name.



 
The various search terms you could have entered for a species  are listed after the species name.  They are all  common words and readily noticeable  features 

2b.    Fungi identification via selecting a collection category is more efficient.

 Let's say you notice the remains of a web in place of a ring.  Selecting  the "Web Vs Ring " icon  would produce a photos and names of species that have a cortina.  


 3.  Now it is easy to match your mushroom to one of your search results or to a mushroom in the collection category you have chosen.
