As I’m mowing the ditch, I go by them three or four times, and I’m like, ‘Man, those look good,’ ” the 55-year-old said, closing his eyes as he remembers the day. For generations, the Hickman family has foraged for mushrooms. Unlike his great-grandparents, who had to study which ones were safe to eat, Hickman thought he had an advantage: He pulled out his smartphone, photographed the fungi and uploaded the image to a plant identifier. I can't even begin to fathom how someone would think this was a remotely smart idea. Trusting a photo identification algorithm on some random fuck-knows identifier based on your possibly badly composed phone photos, all because "man those look good".. Mind boggling.
