About
Tapping into the original adaptive intelligence
myco.ai helps foragers decide where to look, then keeps a private record of what they found.
The "ai" in myco.ai stands for Adaptive Intelligence: the fungal networks that have been sensing and responding to their surroundings for far longer than we have been mapping them.
The app has two parts. One is a regional conditions map: an experimental index that combines habitat, weather, terrain and observation signals to suggest places worth a closer look. The other is a personal field record. You can save a spot, log a foray and come back to it later. The index gives you a reason to investigate a place. It can't tell you for certain what is growing there.
myco.ai is in a controlled alpha with a small group of testers. Coverage and accuracy still vary a lot by region, and the model is changing quickly.
What we believe
Your spots are yours
Your foray record is private. When you upload a photo, we remove its location data.
Honest about uncertainty
Every score is an estimate of habitat conditions. It never says whether a mushroom is there or safe to eat.
Respect the land
Map layers are for reference only. Check access rules, permits and property lines before you go.
Team
myco.ai does not identify mushrooms or tell you whether they are safe to eat. Read the disclaimers before you forage.
