Poor thing was just a wood owl until you spotted it.

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.

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.
