Allegheny Mushroom Forager PA for iPhone

If you're an avid mushroom forager or just starting out, the Allegheny Mushroom Forager PA app for iPhone is a must-have tool in your arsenal. This educational software is designed to help guide you toward the right patches of woods where you have the best chance of discovering a dinner of foraged fungi!

The forests and woodlands of the Allegheny Plateau of North-Central Pennsylvania are ecosystems rich with edible wild mushrooms if you know where to look. However, seasoned wild edible collectors seldom share their 'honey holes', and searching in the wrong spots or at the wrong times will yield nothing but fatigue and frustration.

This app solves that problem by providing expert knowledge on which tree species are associated with specific types of mushrooms. The relationship between tree and mushroom species is clearly outlined for 12 different edible mushrooms including Morels, Chanterelles, Black Trumpets, Lion's Mane, Chicken of the Woods, Hen of the Woods, Hedgehogs, Oysters, Lobsters, Boletes, Giant Puffballs and Pheasant's Back.

In addition to defining this link between trees and mushrooms in detail through descriptions and images within each section dedicated to each type of mushroom covered by this app; it goes one step further by providing an inventory that has been filtered from millions data points from forest stands across Pennsylvania. This inventory highlights specific areas that have high probability yielding harvests based on stand density along with land unit name so users can quickly differentiate between tree types in map view while targeting best areas to search.

The circular polygons generated from this data are color-coded by species making it easy to identify which areas have higher chances yielding certain types such as morels or chanterelles. With integrated geolocation features built into this app; users can easily track their precise movement even when venturing deep into thick forest stands without cellular connection coverage.

This app also provides useful information about each type of mushroom covered including details on their characteristics, descriptions and even buttons that filter the map to show only tree species associated with a target mushroom. This makes it easy for users to find exactly what they're looking for without wasting time searching in the wrong areas.

For those interested in forestry rather than mushrooms, this app also allows manual toggling of given tree species on or off. This is a great way to discover old forest stands or learn how to identify certain types of trees by look. With thousands of woodland patches laden with beds of pine needles and cones; users can easily pick them up for art projects or other uses.

The data within this app is attributed with Unit Names from the Public Land dataset which helps users determine the name of areas they are considering hunting and obtain any necessary permissions. While it's legal to forage for personal consumption on most state-owned lands in the United States, it's always best to be sure!

Mushroom hunting is not a precise science, but this app greatly increases your chances of rapidly locating the species you desire. Created by a naturalist and certified mushroom forager; this app has been tested and verified to work! Enjoy using it yourself or share it with your close friends but remember: respect its power contained within by leaving some mushrooms behind for others (or animals) who may come across them later!
