Find where to forage. Know what you are looking at.
Hunt for Mushrooms is a map and field guide for foragers in the United States and Canada, built for beginners and experienced hunters alike, and built around safety first.
What is coming
We are building in stages, starting with the foundation. Here is what the finished app will do.
Public land map
See where you can legally look: national and state forests, parks, and other public land across the US and Canada, with the managing agency and its harvest rules.
Every species, with lookalikes
A guide to wild mushrooms that leads with the dangerous lookalikes. Edibility is shown only when a cited source backs it up. Otherwise it reads: edibility unknown, do not eat.
Find log
Keep a private record of what you found, where, and when. Your exact location stays private unless you choose to share a rougher one.
Fruiting forecasts
Soil temperature, recent rain, and past sightings, combined to show when and where mushrooms are likely to be fruiting near you.
Safety comes first
Some wild mushrooms are deadly, and many edible ones have toxic lookalikes. Nothing on this site or in this app can confirm that a mushroom is safe to eat. Never eat a wild mushroom without expert identification. If you think someone has eaten a poisonous mushroom, call US Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 or 911 right away.
