Description

=== Quick List of Features === (1) Offline map support -- No one gets great cell reception in the woods, but everyone has a GPS signal (2) Pinpoint your location and altitude -- Find a mushroom once in a spot and you'll surely find it again there (3) Easy input of common attributes -- Every mushroom book starts by advocating you log these (4) Optimized for one-hand use -- Mushroom in one hand, log in the other (5) Experimental Exploration Mode -- Use public records of mushroom discoveries via iNaturalist to find potential foraging locations Please Note: If you are looking for an app to automatically identify mushrooms for you, this is not it. I am providing this app free-of-charge to other mycology enthusiasts, but should you wish to support my continued development efforts, you can donate via the Settings page :). === The Story of Mycolog === I recently fell in love with mushroom hunting. Initially, I relied on paper and pencil to keep track of my finds and forays. But that left me with incomprehensible directions and descriptions. Having a good log is the cornerstone of making mushroom hunting more approachable. So I searched for a technology to help me. I found apps that promised to identify mushrooms through photos, but I didn't want that. I wanted an app to help me keep track of my finds. Thus, the idea to create Mycolog was born. Mycolog was created over the course of several months. I developed this app while testing it in the field as I hunted mushrooms this past season. I think I've arrived at some very useful features that would otherwise be nearly impossible without Mycolog: (1) Offline map support -- No one gets great cell reception in the woods, but everyone has a GPS signal (2) Pinpoint your location and altitude -- Find a mushroom once in a spot and you'll surely find it again there (3) Easy input of common attributes -- Every mushroom book starts by advocating you log these (4) Optimized for one-hand use -- Mushroom in one hand, log in the other I hope you enjoy Mycolog. It's been an incredibly useful companion for me.
