Dear friends,

we’re happy to introduce you iFungi, a smart phone application for mushroom collectors and hobbyists, based on data collected by George Constantinides, teacher – fungicide flora researcher.

Available for iPhone and Android devices, includes 250 European and North American mushrooms..

Each mushroom is presented with a photo taken at the finding place and described in detail about its fruition and edibility.
Also, iFungi provides:
·Synonyms, local names, ecology, morphology, smell, taste, edibility information, medicinal properties.
·Useful information on the morphology of mushrooms and their identification, collection and storage.
·Comparison with other similar species.
·Information on poisonous mushrooms, and poisoning symptoms caused by each type of them.
·An illustrated glossary of useful terms of mushroom terminology.

iFungi is an essential tool for enthusiast forest and nature explorers.

The application allows you to shoot your own findings, take notes, and save your photos to their position in order to create your own personal fungi collection displayed on an interactive map.

For Android users please visit Android market:

Why is it that the mushrooms you find in the wild are so much more ADORABLE than the mushrooms you get in the store? Each one of these is so cute!

What an adventure! After reading about your experience I feel like I was there too. It definitely sounds like something you won’t soon forget.

Unbelievable photos as usual.

Amy – I’m not sure what you have in SC but around here I’m always directed to the Puget Sound Mycological Society. I’m sure there is something similar in your area. http://www.psms.org/ There are many books out there but I would definitely go out several times with a highly experienced forager before venturing off alone with just a book. I hope that helps. Watch out – it is a highly addictive hobby.

Just recently went hunting for an old family cemetery and while we never found it I took a bunch of mushroom photos during our little hike. I just thought they were pretty and maybe post them and talk about the different colors but now I’m wondering if some of them might be edible. What’s the best source for determining what is what in the world of mushrooms?

Sounds like quite the adventure! I don’t think I’ve ever had mushrooms apart from store-bought…looks like I’ll have to see what I can do to change that…you’re photos look good enough to eat!

A friend of mine is supposed to take me mushroom scavenging in the forest near Beaver Creek(an hour away from me) since two months ago! Do you think that she decided against her secret hiding place?
I enjoyed your post so much so that I have decided to give my friend another chance at these beauties!

I have heard of mushroom hunters, and read about them in Pollan’s “Omnivore’s Dillema” so I’m quite surprised and envious that you had this opportunity! I’m in the same boat regarding mushrooms: I like they but I don’t. I find that I like them more when they are incorporated into a dish, not just on their own, though a balsamic-marinated grilled portabello is certainly fantastic when I’m in the mood for it!

I adore mushrooms, but Southern CA isn’t exactly the best area to go mushroom hunting. Almost anytime I cook mushrooms I add a splash of cognac. Delicious.

What a lovely post. The first time I tasted fresh porcini mushrooms was unforgettable too, they’re such great friends with pasta and pizza.

this is so much fun!! I’m from Kuwait and my husband and I were vacationing in the french country side last week.. we have never tried mushroom hunting ( specially coming from the desert..this was so new to us).. so we went with the B&B owner..it was awsome!! I was glad the guy was with us cz I was clueless on which was poisenous mushrooms and which were not.. amatuer as I was, I touched one poissenous mushroom and the guy freaked! LOL..

You can check some of the pictures on my blog!! we collected HUGE i mean GIGANTIC mushrooms and had them for dinner with garlic & lotsa french butter! YUM 🙂

Wow. Lucky girl! That sounds like an amazing day and the photos are amazing! I have looked on at the “mushroom lady” many a time at our local market. She looks a little on the crazy side, but does she ever have an amazing assortment of mushrooms. I have never had a lobster mushroom, but I’m dying to try it.

Oh joy, you lucky guy to have friends share their bounty. My family here and in Italy go mushroom hunting too, but alas, I am not so skilled. I have to wait for their generousity. Wonderful descriptions – great post.

We used to pick morels when I was growing up, but haven’t gone for too long! Your post brought back some great memories and mushroom foraging is definitely a favorite fall-time adventure. Fabulous photos and post!
