Actually I use it as a starting point for fungi. Seek will usually get me to the genus, and from there I can cross reference various books to narrow it down. Hell, sometimes it'll give me an exact match, and then I just have to perform a yes or no ID with my field guides. That being said, I mostly end up with no, I'm shit scared of all amanitas and most mushrooms just aren't tasty enough to warrant the effort.
