***lol, it's like "Russian Roulette with mushrooms". 33%, 40%, and 73% chance of ingesting a poisonous Amanita phalloides mushroom if you use one of those apps on an Amanita and it fails (as of the 2023 study). 😬 #mushrooms


"Results: Picture Mushroom was the most accurate of the three apps and correctly identified 49% (95% CI [0-100]) of specimens, compared with Mushroom Identificator (35% [15-56]) and iNaturalist (35% [0-76]). Picture Mushroom correctly identified 44% of poisonous mushrooms [0-95], compared with Mushroom Identificator (30% [1-58]) and iNaturalist (40% [0-84), but Mushroom Identificator identified more specimens of Amanita phalloides correctly (67%), compared to Picture Mushroom (60%) and iNaturalist (27%). Amanita phalloides was falsely identified, twice by Picture Mushroom and once by iNaturalist. "

" Objective: To compare the accuracy of three popular mushroom identification software applications in identifying mushrooms involved in exposures reported to the Victorian Poisons Information Centre and Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria.

Background: Over the past 10 years, an increasing number of software applications have been developed for use on smart phones and tablet devices to identify mushrooms. We have observed an increase in poisonings after incorrect identification of poisonous species as edible, using these applications...."

4/5 #Fungi

Two small mushrooms from a second fungi hunting trip to #EppingForest. The focus-stacking by hand worked particularly well on this one - it needed a bit of practice.
