Honest Results and Safety

We tell you how sure we are, and what we can't know.

Honest Confidence

Every result says how sure it is and never claims certainty from a photo. When it isn't sure, it says so and suggests a better photo.

Names Checked Against GBIF

The scientific name is checked against the GBIF botanical database, and look-alike labels are cross-checked against it. Names that don't match a known species are marked as not confirmed.

Safety Comes First

Toxicity information is general reference for the species, shown with a reminder to call your vet or poison control. Mushrooms are not supported.
