Before you choose an app
What Wild Index can—and cannot—tell you.
What can I identify?+
Choose an app for birds, plants, trees, mushrooms, fish, snakes, spiders, insects, dog breeds, rocks, crystals, fossils, shells, clouds, coins, stamps, antiques, jewelry, or cars.
How do I identify something?+
Open the specialist app for your subject and take or import clear photos. In Birdr, you can also record a bird. The app returns a likely match, confidence, and visible clues you can compare.
Why use separate apps?+
A bird, mushroom, coin, and crystal need different evidence. Each Wild Index app focuses its capture flow, result, warnings, and reference material on one subject.
Can I use a mushroom result to decide what to eat?+
No. Never eat, touch, or handle a wild mushroom because an app suggests a match. Ask a qualified local expert to inspect it in person.
Can an app authenticate or appraise a collectible?+
No. Use the result to record a likely identity and visible details. Ask a qualified specialist to authenticate, grade, establish provenance, or appraise an object.
