If I recall correctly, you need to triangulate of bunch of data points to ID a mushroom with some confidence: * How the mushroom grows in relation to siblings. E.g. solitary, or a sparse cluster, or a dense cluster * Where the mushroom is growing. I recall stuff growing off dead wood to be particularly dangerous * The color of the spore print (cut off the cap and put it on a piece of paper for a day and all the spores drop onto the paper and leave a colorful print) * Characteristics of the mushroom fruit itself. Whether it had a veil, etc. Often the mushroom you want to eat has all the same characteristics with some other inedible or poisonous other mushroom, except for one of these criteria It's conceivable to have an app that walks you through all those steps. But yeah if it's just going off of a picture of a mushroom fruit, that's pretty sketchy
