App Description

The australian version of iFunch, the historical mushrooms app developed in Italy, made possible thanks to the collaboration with Gregg Cook, member of Fungimap, Australian fungi mapping data base.

This app helps you with a fast identification system based on morphological and color features. You’ll be able to immediately recognize the mushrooms you find on your walk using a procedure that simplifies their identification and minimizes the possibility of error.

You can browse the about 500 selected species wherever you are, viewing the photos, illustrated tables and detailed information providing more accurate identification and fun facts. You can even find single mushrooms by their names.

The mushroom photos were taken by fans throughout the world. You can even have yours published by following the instructions on the support site. The best photos and photographers’ names will be added to future updates.

Application features:
