How do I use Mycovela?
Take or select up to 3 photos of the same mushroom. Compare possible matches and their features, then save a result image to Photos if useful.
Can it tell me whether a mushroom is safe to eat?
No. Never pick, cook or eat a wild mushroom based only on an app result. Ask a qualified local expert.
Does identification work offline?
No. Photo identification requires internet access and sends selected photos to a third-party AI service.
Are there in-app purchases?
Optional auto-renewing subscriptions are available. Review the current price, period and offer in the app before purchasing.
Can I identify photos on this website?
No. This website provides product information, observation guides and support. Use the Mycovela iPhone app for photo-based learning references.
