Myco Research

Document your mycological findings and streamline field data logging with a professional research companion. Myco Research provides a comprehensive field journal designed specifically for mycorrhizal fungi researchers, ecologists, and cultivation enthusiasts to record mycelium interactions, document microhabitats, and analyze fungal specimens with high scientific accuracy.

Core Features & Field Mechanics:
Advanced Sample Logging: Seamlessly create detailed entries via the standardized New sample form, which automatically generates unique field codes, logs the collection date, and records your initial species hypothesis.

Precise Geolocation & Mapping: Utilize the Auto geolocation tool to automatically tag coordinates (Latitude and Longitude), define precise elevations (m), and view your entire field sample distribution across an interactive Map View.

Environmental & Plant Profiling: Track exact microhabitat conditions by documenting Substrate matrices (e.g., soil, moss, decaying wood), local moisture/light levels, and Associated plants (such as Beech, Oak, Pine, Spruce, Birch) to fully evaluate mycorrhizal relationships.

Macro & Microscopic Analysis Ledger: Build highly descriptive anatomical data sheets directly from the field. Catalog primary Macro features (cap shape, cap color, hymenium type, stem descriptions, odor, bruising variations) alongside advanced Microscopy metrics for Spores (shape, size, ornamentation), Basidia, and Cystidia.

Taxonomy Reference Engine: Cross-examine your active samples against a built-in taxonomic reference database featuring comprehensive descriptions for distinct species like Boletus edulis, Amanita muscaria, and Cantharellus cibarius. Easily designate a Tentative match to map your discoveries.

Photos & Visual Evidence Attachment: Attach multiple reference photos to individual logs—categorized under fruiting bodies, environmental profiles, and microscopic captures—to back up your research with visual data.

Analytics & Data Export Preferences:
Field Activity Analytics: Monitor your workspace productivity at a glance via the History and analytics center, featuring live counters for your total logged samples, current field streaks, and filtered views by taxonomy type (such as Ectomycorrhizal).

Flexible App Customizations: Tailor the platform interface to match your workflow inside the settings directory. Toggle between Metric units and standard metrics, prioritize Scientific names (Latin nomenclature) on sample cards, or enable Draft reminders.

JSON Data Management: Maintain total ownership over your accumulated field studies by utilizing the Export journal as JSON command to generate clean datasets ready for parsing, sharing, or external integration.
