Interdisciplinary research team from theory and practice develops digital help for mushroom pickers

Cep or almost ringed knight? Mushroom pickers often find it difficult to distinguish edible from inedible or even poisonous mushrooms. The ID-Logics app, which has been expanded to include a new identification aid for mushrooms, offers help. What's special about it: The app was developed in cooperation with the Bund für Umwelt- und Naturschutz Deutschland e.V. (BUND, German Federation for the Environment and Nature Conservation) at the Leibniz University of Hanover and the Deutschen Gesellschaft für Mykologie e.V. (DGfM, German Society for Mycology). The Niedersächsische Bingo-Umweltstiftung (Bingo Environmental Foundation) sponsored the project called "ID-Pilze" (ID-Mushrooms).
