About Fungi Identification

Fungi are one of the most fascinating and most misunderstood kingdoms of life. Spotter can identify mushrooms, bracket fungi, puffballs, coral fungi, and more — providing detailed species reference information and known toxicity notes for each result.

Spotter results are reference information only. Always consult a verified expert before making any decisions based on mushroom identification.

Tips for Better Identification

Always photograph the full mushroom including the base, which may have a cup-like volva.
Gills, pores, or ridges (the underside surface) are critical for identification.
Check for color changes when the flesh is cut — some toxic species stain blue.
