Comment on Shrooms growing on a tree

  It doesn’t resemble any of the other birch polypores around here.

  Let me guess, you put this into some computer vision app and it guessed a polypore from a photo of a gilled mushroom because it saw birch bark.

    Sadly no, I typed up the description on Brave search; it took a while because I used common words:

    “Mushrooms that grow on tree branches sideways possible orange color” and variations of without using punctuation and the +/- symbols.

    Now that you mentioned it, if there is a computer vision app you can recommend I would very much appreciate it. I’m not tech savvy and using an old iPhone if that helps. Thank you.

      I use iNaturalist but it’s pretty hit or miss (the bark thing is one kind of mistake I see it make frequently).

        Got it, thank you so much! I agree with your statement regarding the bark as I was looking at the photos from Wikipedia.

        I’m delighted to see that iNaturalist works on birds as well; my references are mostly books and journals with questionable illustrations and photographs.

        Thank you so much, you’re lovely!
