A photo match cannot establish whether a mushroom is safe to eat. Never eat a wild mushroom based on an image identification; confirm it with a qualified local expert.

Photo tips for mushroom identification
- Start with a sharp photo of the whole mushroom, including its cap and stem.
- For another identification, photograph the underside to show gills, pores or ridges.
- Keep the base visible and capture the surface it grows on without disturbing the habitat.
- Compare the suggested name with a local field guide and a qualified mushroom expert.
Mushroom identifier questions
How do I identify a mushroom from a photo?
Upload a clear image of the mushroom and select Identify This Mushroom. Compare the suggested species with visible features on your specimen. Try a second view if similar species appear.
What mushroom photo should I take?
Use natural light and focus on one mushroom. A whole-specimen view and a separate underside view reveal different features. Submit each view separately to compare the suggestions.
Can this tool tell me whether a mushroom is edible?
No. Similar-looking mushrooms can have very different risks, and a photo match cannot establish edibility. Do not use these suggestions to decide whether to eat a mushroom.
