Information only

Everything on Hunt for Mushrooms, including text, maps, species information, forecasts, logs, and any feature that uses artificial intelligence, is provided for general information and education only. It is not a substitute for expert identification, medical advice, or legal advice.

No guarantee of edibility or safety

We do not guarantee that any mushroom is edible, safe, or correctly identified. Information may be incomplete, out of date, or wrong. Where edibility is shown, it comes from a cited source and is not a recommendation to eat. Where we have no cited source, a species is treated as edibility unknown: do not eat.

AI never determines edibility

Any AI-assisted feature may suggest possible matches or lookalikes. It does not and cannot determine whether a mushroom is edible or safe, and it must never be relied on for that purpose. AI identification from photos is often wrong.

Your responsibility

You are solely responsible for what you pick, eat, share, or serve to others. Have every mushroom identified by a qualified expert before eating it. You are also responsible for knowing and following the laws, permit rules, and land-use rules that apply where you forage. Maps and land boundaries may be inaccurate and are not a legal determination of where you may harvest.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, DawnForge Labs and its owners, employees, and contributors are not liable for any injury, illness, death, loss, or damage arising from the use of, or reliance on, this site or app. See also our Terms of Use.
