Mycolog
Your mycological companion
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
The Fall + Winter seasons are upon us. Get the new Mycolog app to keep your forays running smoothly.
Have an amazing mushroom hunting season!
=== 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.
THE CAMERA DEBACLE
I know there have been a number of issues w/ the camera and I apologize for that. The author of the library I was using stopped maintaining the library and as a result the camera module (when creating a Mycolog) was behaving incorrectly. I switched to a different library and re-implemented all of the features from the previous library. Hopefully that makes everything work again for folks :).
LIST OF CHANGES
+ Re-implemented the camera to mimic previous library, which was deprecated
+ Lazy loading of Mycolog entries to avoid stutter when scrolling
+ Fixed a few minor bugs across the app
- iPad support is not perfect -- it should be usable, but some things will be oddly-sized
