I don't think I saw anything suitable on F-droid; I also don't know if these apps are localised (wrt species, not language), if so, I'm in Northern Europe.

TIA

Thanks for all the answers! plantnet.org is bookmarked.

And since this is a work phone it has all the google stuff anyhow and a colleague showed me how to use the Google search bar's camera symbol for identifying stuff ;)

You don't even need an app, you can just submit a picture here on the web: https://identify.plantnet.org/

Honestly for mushrooms, find a local guided forage to go on

You need more than just eyes to know if you're gonna end up with a bad time, and even if you could trust computer vision to be perfect (you cannot), a phone doesn't have fingers or a nose.

Thanks, it's not for eating, just satisfying kids' curiosity!

Flora incognita might be worth a look?

Doesn't seem to be open source, but otherwise it should be reasonably privacy respecting.

It's a free publicly funded academic project developed by a German university and the max-planck institute, so that already means the incentives are aligned much differently than with commercial products.

I assume most if not all data collection can be opted out of (german law is relatively strict in that regard and I assume a public project will follow them quite closely) and whatever gets collected at least goes to helping scientific projects. It apparently works offline

Thanks, that looks good, I'll give it a try.
