An text based index is great if you already know what genus or species you’re looking to find information on. But, what if you’re not sure what mushroom you’re trying to look up? Well, that’s why I decided to make the visual index. It’s not perfect, but it does group mushrooms by their overarching macro-features, which may help you find several candidates to match what you’re looking for. Plus, it’s just more fun to browse!
