App Description
From the creators of the National Audubon Society Field Guides and the National Wildlife Federation Guides comes an all-new, beautiful and intuitive guide to 570 North American mushrooms, with nearly 700 photographs and full text descriptions to help identify mushroom species. This app includes the entire text of the National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms.
Features include:
• Search by name (common and scientific) using either keyboard or verbal search systems; type or speak all or part of a mushroom’s name to search for its detailed account.
• Organize species alphabetically or taxonomically.
• Search by shape, habitat, region, color, size, time of year, mushroom structure—or any combination.
Every species account contains the entire text content of the National Audubon Society Field Guide to Mushrooms—all recently—and features high-quality color photography. Touch to open any or all of the text sections and to enlarge photos to aide with identification in the field.
Each species account contains:
• Description with identification details;
• Habitat description;
• Range information;
• Discussion about the species’ history, edibility or toxicity (if known), and other notable characteristics;
• Seasonality;
• Taxonomic Order information;
• Photos of similar species with links to those species’ accounts;
• Links to the Wikipedia entry for every species.
The apps also contain note-taking and photo uploading functions. Keep a digital journal of your findings and share them with family, friends, and our growing online community.
