MicoAtlas - Mushroom Guide
Field journal, GPS and offline
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Species entries with no signal, your outings logged with GPS, and recent rainfall in your area so you know when it is worth heading out.
MicoAtlas is an offline mushroom guide and personal field journal for recording your trips, observations and collections.
Browse common mushroom species from Spain and Europe, keep your notes on your device and prepare your field trips even without coverage. The app downloads an editorial catalogue so the main guide can work without depending on a constant internet connection.
Main features:
- Species guide with morphological, ecological and edibility information.
- Offline use after downloading the catalogue.
- Local field journal to record trips, locations, recent rainfall, observations and collections.
- Journal export in JSON and CSV.
- Light and dark mode.
- Premium unlock through a one-time in-app purchase.
MicoAtlas does not identify mushrooms automatically and must not be used as the only reference to decide whether a species is edible. Mushroom safety requires checking several reliable sources and, if in doubt, not consuming the mushroom.

more What's new:
- Your spots now tell you how many days are left until the good time after a heavy rain, instead of just "Too early".
- If the last rain fell short, the spot says so plainly: it needs more rain.
- A shower after a good rain no longer resets the spot's countdown.

- If you can't find a species, you can ask for it straight from the search.
- Search now also finds species by their older names (e.g. Boletus erythropus).
