Plants, maybe. Fungi, hell no.

AI + fungi = you die

Actually I use it as a starting point for fungi. Seek will usually get me to the genus, and from there I can cross reference various books to narrow it down. Hell, sometimes it'll give me an exact match, and then I just have to perform a yes or no ID with my field guides. That being said, I mostly end up with no, I'm shit scared of all amanitas and most mushrooms just aren't tasty enough to warrant the effort.

I have heard that spore prints are a reliable way of determining mushroom species (removing the stem, putting the underside of the mushroom on an ink pad, pressing against paper, and comparing the print with those of known species).

I bet an AI could analyze that data pretty well. But since there's really no market for such a product, if I want it, I would have to make it myself. In which case I highly advise against using it because I really don't trust me.

There is no ink involved, the spores make the print.

Ah, thanks for the correction, never done it myself and learned about it a long time ago so I'm not surprised I remembered it wrong.

Fungi is literally fun tho. Mostly to see how wrong that fucker is. It's just as wrong as me
