Mushroom Observer
Mycology website
Mushroom Observer is a collaborative mycology website started by Nathan Wilson in 2006.[1] Its purpose is to "record observations about mushrooms, help people identify mushrooms they aren't familiar with, and expand the community around the scientific exploration of mushrooms".[2]
The community of about 10,000 registered users collaborates on identifying the submitted mushroom images, assigning their scientific names by means of a weighted voting process.
All photographs are subject to a Creative Commons license that allows their reuse by others without the need for remuneration or special permission, subject to the terms of the license.[2] The software is open source and hosted on GitHub.[2]
