    mobile friendly web application that uses artificial intelligence to identify a mushroom through image recognition. We used ImageAI’s custom recognition library to train a model based on several thousand images of different species of poisonous mushrooms we gathered from websites such as MushroomObserver.com and iNaturalist.com. Our website utilizes PHP and the CodeIgniter framework to let users upload an image to our server. This is then passed to our model to predict its species and display to the
