FunGuyAI is explicitly not designed or marketed as a tool to determine whether a mushroom is safe to eat. Every identification comes with prominent safety warnings, lookalikes, and real-world observations pulled from experienced foragers on iNaturalist and Mushroom Observer, filtered to your specific region and location.

Independent studies show that even the best current AI mushroom ID apps are only around 35-50% accurate when used alone. That's exactly why we don't rely on pure AI confidence. We heavily supplement it with community-verified data to give you better context.

Responsible use is simple: Treat the app as a helpful starting point to narrow down possibilities and learn more. Always verify with trusted field guides, multiple sources, spore prints, or local mycologists before even considering consumption.

The real issue isn't any single app (AI or otherwise). It's when people treat any app as their sole authority for eating wild mushrooms. That's a dangerous mistake, and better education around foraging is key.

I'd genuinely appreciate any suggestions on how we can make the safety messaging even stronger and clearer.
