What Foraging ID Does
Your AI-powered field guide for the wild
AI-Powered Scanning
Snap a photo and let the AI identify species in seconds. Works with plants, mushrooms, berries, and herbs.
Edible vs Toxic
See whether a species is generally listed as edible, toxic or inedible, and which toxic lookalikes to rule out. A starting point, never a verdict: always confirm with a local expert.
Berries, Herbs & Fungi
Comprehensive coverage across mushrooms, wild berries, wild herbs, edible greens, and more.
Educational Guidance
Learn about habitat, season, look-alikes, and preparation tips. Build real foraging knowledge over time.
How Foraging ID Works
From photo to identification in three steps
- 1
Point your camera
Point your camera at any plant, mushroom, or berry you want to identify.
- 2
Snap a photo
Snap a photo and let the AI analyze the image to identify the species in seconds.
- 3
Review safety and guidance
Review the identification along with its edibility and safety rating, then read habitat, season, and look-alike guidance before acting on it.
Always Verify Before You Eat
AI identification is a powerful tool, but never the final word. Many edible plants and mushrooms have toxic look-alikes that can cause serious harm. Treat every result as informational only — always cross-reference with trusted expert sources and local guides, and confirm with a qualified expert before consuming anything foraged in the wild. When in doubt, leave it out.
