Struggling to tell the difference between the death cap mushroom and a parasol mushroom?
What you need is a new mobile phone which can tell the difference between poisonous funghi and edible mushrooms.
The phone has been developed by a team of scientists in Austria in an attempt to prevent the dozens of people poisoned and several killed every year after eating poisonous funghi.
The researchers based at Hagenberg college, invented software which can identify 600 different funghi.
Foragers need to photograph mushrooms which can then be compared with the systems database to ensure it is edible and not a poisonous variety.
