I'm still working on it, curious but what feature may be most valuable for you? What do you think about personalised care instructions, and an interactive chat feature for each plant.

If this is just a wrapper around an LLM, what’s the game plan when a poisonous mushroom gets misidentified as something edible?

I have warning they should not ingest or apply to skin... Mushroom is not plant is it?

Can your LLM always detect that? You realize that foraging is a huge reason people do this, and bad directions have very real consequences. From a culinary perspective, does it matter? Is it a growing, potential edible (technically not a plant the way tomatoes are technically a fruit) thing on the ground?

FWIW, even ignoring the fungi aspect, you probably have a related issue around small red fruits.

Mushrooms are not plants but berries are, misidentified berries can be poisonous.
