📷 Identify a plant or mushroom
Take a photo and the library's offline AI names it from the plants and mushrooms found in Oregon. It runs on this device (or the one sharing the library), with no internet.
☠️ Never eat a plant or mushroom, or use it as medicine, because this page named it.
A computer guessing from one photo is often wrong, and the deadly ones look like the good ones. Use it to learn
what to look up, then check every feature in the guides and books: leaves, flowers, smell, where it grows,
and its look-alikes.
For the best answer
- One plant, in the middle of the photo, filling most of it. Only the middle square is used.
- Close up on what tells it apart: the flower, a leaf (top and underside), fruit or seeds.
- Mushrooms: one photo of the top, one of the gills underneath, and one of the whole stem down to its base (dig it up: the base matters).
- Daylight, in focus. Try two or three photos of different parts: if they agree, that's a better sign.
The AI is BioCLIP (Ohio State University's Imageomics Institute, free under the MIT licence), trained on 10 million photos of living things. The species list comes from iNaturalist sightings. Plants that are rare here, or garden plants from elsewhere, may be missing, so a confident answer can still be a near neighbour.
