MycoMap

MycoMap

Understand mushrooms before you search for them.

MycoMap is a platform dedicated to ecological mushroom forecasting and the collection of local data.

Every day, it processes weather conditions, forest habitats, and soil characteristics to estimate where conditions are most favorable for the growth of the main fungal species.

It's not just a map of findings: it's a tool that helps you interpret what's happening in the forest.

GROWTH CONDITIONS MAP

Consult an interactive map of Italy every day with a growth index between 0 and 5.

The calculations take into account:

• precipitation observed by the national weather radar
• minimum and maximum temperatures
• soil moisture and water retention capacity
• elevation, exposure, and slope
• forest type and tree cover
• specific ecological models for each species

Each area reacts differently to the same weather conditions. MycoMap transforms this complexity into simple information that can be accessed directly on the map.

AN EVER-GROWING MYCOLOGICAL DATABASE

MycoMap doesn't just generate forecasts.

The app integrates a constantly expanding archive of observations, findings, and ecological information collected in the field.

Each season contributes to enriching our knowledge of the habitats, growth periods, and behavior of fungal species.

The goal is to build one of the largest databases dedicated to the emergence of epigeal fungi and the relationship between fungi, climate, and territory.

YOUR PERSONAL NOTEBOOK

Record:

• findings with photos and location
• elevation and habitat
• personal notes
• terrain measurements
• routes taken during the outing

When the models are updated, the data is automatically reprocessed to maintain consistent comparisons over time.

The exact location of your finds remains private.

A COMMUNITY THAT CONTRIBUTES TO RESEARCH

Every report can help improve our understanding of the behavior of fungal species.

The data collected by users is used to progressively refine forecasting models and expand our knowledge of habitats.

MycoMap grows thanks to the community's contributions, field observations, and validation activities.

ALSO USABLE IN THE WOODS

The areas consulted before departure remain available even without cell coverage.

Open the area you're interested in from home and find it in the field even without an internet connection.

IMPORTANT

MycoMap does not identify mushrooms or provide information on their edibility.

Never collect, handle, or consume mushrooms that have not been positively identified by a mycologist or qualified mycological inspector.

The indices represent an estimate of favorable growing conditions and do not guarantee the presence or discovery of mushrooms.

The user is responsible for complying with local regulations regarding harvesting, permits, permitted quantities, and protected areas.
