[Academic] Help Test My AI Mushroom Recognition Web App (18+)
Hi everyone!
I’m currently completing the final stage of my Computing & IT degree and I’m looking for participants aged 18+ to test a prototype AI image-recognition application I’ve developed.
The app compares three different CNN models — Baseline CNN, ResNet18 and MobileNetV2 — using mushroom image recognition.
Testing only takes a few minutes:
- Upload an image
- Select whether it is a mushroom, not a mushroom, or you’re unsure
- See how the three AI models classify it
- Complete a short feedback form
You can use mushroom images from the internet, photographs you’ve taken yourself, or non-mushroom images to see how the models respond.
🍄 Need a mushroom image to test?
You can browse fungi on iNaturalist here:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?view=species&iconic_taxa=Fungi
This is also useful because you can see the identified mushroom alongside the image and compare it with what the AI predicts.
Please be honest with your feedback — positive or negative. If something is confusing, doesn’t work as expected, or you think something could be improved, that is genuinely useful for my project evaluation.
🤖 Test the app here:

The application is an academic prototype only and must not be used to determine whether a mushroom is edible or safe.
Participation is voluntary and greatly appreciated. Thank you to anyone who gives it a try! 🍄
