We highly recommend that
you start by downloading and installing the demo version.
After installation try this:
1. Try identifying a common fungus, e.g. the Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria).
2. Try opening the species key to Amanita:
First find the genus Amanita
Then go to the "Species identification centre"
Choose the "pdf-keys"-tap
Click the link to "Jan Vesterholt 2008: Key
to the Nordic species of Amanita"
The key should open in your preferred pdf-viewer.
3. If everything works, buy the license to gain access to all other keys.
