About this app
"Are they up yet?"
Every forager asks it before loading the basket into the car. A general forecast covers half a county. MushScout learns from YOUR finds instead, and tells you when to go back to your own woods.
━━━ 🎯 WHERE TO GO TODAY ━━━
A mushroom forecast nobody else can make: it compares today's conditions with those of your past finds, in the same spot and at the same time of year. Every morning your spots are ranked by probability.
🔓 Your best spot is free to see, with the real number. Not a blurred screen: the full forecast, so you can check for yourself whether it gets it right before deciding if you want it on all the others.
🔔 "Monteperpoli: now's the time! Today looks like when you found 5 porcini here."
You never get a bare number: next to it you always see which day it resembles and what you found back then. And it learns from the empty-handed outings too — those are what teach it when NOT to bother.
The more you use it, the more it becomes yours.
━━━ 🌲 OUT IN THE WOODS ━━━
🚗 BACK TO THE CAR
An arrow and the distance to your parking spot, even with no signal. When the fog comes down you always know which way the road is.
🗺️ GPS BUILT FOR WOODLAND
Automatic tracking even with the screen off and the phone in your pocket: distance, duration, elevation gain and altitude in real time.
📍 YOUR SPOTS, YOURS ALONE
Photo, species, quantity, altitude and notes. No other user ever sees them: not your friends, not anyone else, not even in challenges. No public map, no shared pins.
✍️ WE NEVER BLOCK YOU
You can always log a find, offline at the bottom of a valley and beyond the free quota. Anything over the limit stays saved and you unlock it whenever suits you. You never lose a find because of a counter.
🌦️ MUSHROOM WEATHER
A conditions score from 0 to 100 and a 7-day outlook, with a plain summary of which day will be best.
🧭 THREE MAPS + OFFLINE
Satellite to tell chestnut woods from beech, topographic for altitude and slopes, and marked hiking trails. Download your areas before you set off.
🔬 AI IDENTIFICATION, ONLY IF YOU WANT IT
Photograph a mushroom and get a species suggestion. Prefer to type the name yourself? That's quicker: the AI is never mandatory.
🆘 EMERGENCY SOS
GPS coordinates, an SMS to your emergency contact, an audible alarm and a flashing torch. Always free, for everyone, forever.
━━━ 👥 WITH FRIENDS ━━━
🎁 INVITE A FRIEND — one month of Premium free for both of you
⚔️ CHALLENGES — whoever finds the most wins
🤝 GO OUT TOGETHER — position and harvest in real time. Your spots still stay secret.
🧭 FOLLOW A ROUTE — retrace a past outing, offline too
♻️ CLEAN THE WOODS — log the litter you pick up and unlock badges
━━━ 💚 FREE AND PREMIUM ━━━
Free: GPS, tracking, back to the car, three maps, mushroom weather, journal, AI identification, SOS and the forecast for your best spot.
Premium (€9.99 a year): all your spots ranked every morning, a personal alert on each one, the weather fingerprint of every find, advanced stats, unlimited finds and offline maps, unlimited AI, challenges and shared outings. And no ads.
✔️ No weekly subscription. Yearly only, first month free, cancel whenever you like.
✔️ Want a taste first? Watch a video: no credit card needed.
━━━ ⚠️ IMPORTANT ━━━
MushScout is NOT a substitute for an expert. AI identification can be wrong. Before eating any mushroom, ALWAYS have it checked by a mycologist or your local mycological inspection service. Poisonous mushrooms can kill.
The forecast model is currently tuned for porcini (Boletus edulis): on other species the score is less reliable. The journal, maps and GPS work for any mushroom.
Follow the foraging rules where you live: permits, quantity limits, and where and when picking is allowed.
━━━
MushScout was built in the Tuscan Apennines by a forager who got tired of jotting spots down in a notebook and never remembering what the weather had been like when he found them.
Happy foraging! 🌲
