Mushroom Spot

Mushroom Spot is a digital platform for people who enjoy mushroom foraging, from beginners looking for their first finds to experienced pickers managing familiar locations. Its app brings together a map built from recorded mushroom observations, photo-based identification, and a guide to hundreds of species. Users can explore nearby sightings, filter locations by species, edibility, and observation year, and check which mushrooms are in season in their country. The map provides location accuracy information, with most spots reported to be within 100 meters of the recorded coordinates. An outdoor navigation feature helps users find a spot and search within its area.

The identification tool uses AI to suggest a species from a photo, while the guide offers images, distinguishing features, and lookalikes to consider. Users can also log harvests and save personal locations to a private map for future seasons. Mushroom Spot says its map draws on decades of observations documented by researchers and naturalists, and the service is available through iOS and Android apps.
