About this app

A TRUE GAMECHANGER

This app will completely revolutionize the way you look for mushrooms! It leverages multiple highly detailed spatial (map-based) datasets describing local environmental conditions to help take the guesswork out of finding fruiting fungus.


FEATURED DATA:
● Tree species data for the whole country with 30-meter (~100 feet) resolution.
● More than 30,000 verified mushroom observation points to learn what environments they like.
● Living and dead tree density overlays for finding the best forest stands.
● Soil moisture display to know where conditions are just right.
● Soil type overlay to learn what soils your favorite mushrooms prefer.
● Relative humidity and precipitation totals to track the moisture.
● Weather radar loop and cloud cover map to keep an eye on the weather.
● Minimum, current, and maximum temperature overlays to find the right zones.
● Public lands overlay with clickable information to help find legal foraging spots.
● LIDAR data - aspect, hillshade, elevation contours, and slope.
● Multiple basemaps - aerial imagery, topo maps, and more.


INCLUDED TOOLS:
● Automatically toggle trees associated with a given mushroom species.
● Add customizable points to the map to log your mushroom spots and other features.
● Pinpoint and follow your position on the map using GPS.
● Track your route while hiking to make sure you can find your way back.

HIGHLY DETAILED
The tree species data included in this app is 100 times more detailed than any similar dataset previously available. GeoPOI has other mushroom foraging apps using the old data - these apps are still useful because the included tree data works offline, but this new dataset reveals so much more information and works for the entire country!

Data coverage is for the entire continental US, including the states of:

Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming!

AN APP FOR ALL
This app is an immensely powerful tool that can be used in many fields. Beyond just amateur and professional mycologists, individuals with interests in forestry and tree species, geologists, and other scientists will find a wealth of useful information embedded within. There truly is something for everyone. If you try it out and aren't satisfied for any reason, please reach out for a complete refund! We are certain that this app will help you to find new public lands and wild edible mushrooms. Be safe, and happy foraging!
