What should a mushroom app help with?
A useful mushroom app should solve a clear need without creating false confidence. Mycoverse is built for planning and field journaling: it compares signals including rain, temperature, estimated moisture, season, terrain and forest data to highlight areas that may be more promising.
What Mycoverse includes
- Mushroom Radar for comparing days and search areas.
- 200 source-reviewed species profiles with months, habitat and field features.
- A private mushroom map and field journal for photos and notes.
- Trip Mode, watchlists, alerts and offline field support.
Data and limitations
Mycoverse uses available global and regional environmental data, including data from MET Norway, Open-Meteo, NASA POWER, the global 250-metre ISRIC SoilGrids model, ESA WorldCover, OpenStreetMap and public historical occurrence records through GBIF. SoilGrids is not a local soil measurement. Historical observations are not recent finds. Coverage and precision vary, and an assessment never guarantees a find.

Frequently asked questions
What makes Mycoverse different from a mushroom book?
Mycoverse combines trip planning, environmental signals, a source-reviewed species library and a private field journal. It helps choose a time and area and remember trips; it does not approve mushrooms for consumption.
Can Mycoverse identify mushrooms safely?
No. Photo suggestions and map assessments cannot confirm identity or edibility. Use qualified local mushroom inspection before consumption.
Is Mycoverse available on Android and iPhone?
Yes. Mycoverse is available from Google Play for Android and the App Store for iPhone.
Are my finding locations private?
Yes. Exact finding locations are private by default. Sharing is optional and controlled by you.
