I did use a CNN, but didn't really run into problems for that. I do not intend to use user submitted pictures, as I would have no idea myself what they truly are, if it's what you meant.

Definitely, as I said elsewhere in a comment, I will add more warnings. The disclaimer is already there when you get the results, but it doesn't hurt to put some more. Will also give some picture examples with mushrooms that look alike

OP here. It knows more than 500 species, results range from terrible to ok, but I will work on improving that, and add more information about each mushroom (like species that look alike but are not edible). Nobody should use it to know if a

Nicely done. I worked a bit on the same concept, mine is not as good as yours, and it's an android app. If anybody wants to have a look, I'm really opened to suggestions. https://play.google.com/store/apps&#x2
