Agroecology Map vs MushMap

Agroecology Map is a Citizen Science and Open Data platform dedicated to mapping and connecting initiatives in Agroecology, Permaculture, and Agroforestry Systems around the world. Created and maintained by a network of passionate volunteers, it serves as a digital commons where farmers, researchers, educators, and citizens collaborate to document, visualize, and share real experiences that regenerate soils, protect biodiversity, and strengthen community resilience. The platform promotes the exchange of practical knowledge among people and organizations working toward sustainable and regenerative agriculture. Each mapped initiative contributes to a global open database showcasing the diversity of agroecological practices — from family farms and community gardens to research centers, networks, and educational programs. By connecting these experiences, Agroecology Map helps reveal the living web of transformation that sustains local food systems and nurtures ecological balance. Built on free and open-source software, Agroecology Map embodies transparency, collaboration, and shared ownership. All data are released under open licenses, empowering anyone to explore, reuse, and contribute to collective knowledge. This open approach enables communities to build their own maps, tools, and stories — reinforcing the belief that knowledge about sustainable food systems should remain accessible to all.

Every mushroom picker has their own spots. The clearing where the chanterelles come back every July. The slope behind the old birches where the porcini showed up after the rain. Those places live in your head, in a random screenshot, or nowhere at all - and a year later you cannot find them again. MushMap is a private map of your mushroom spots. You stand in the forest, tap save, and the spot is yours forever. SAVE A SPOT IN SECONDS - Save the spot you are standing on with one tap, or drop the pin manually on the map - Pick the species: bay bolete, chanterelle, porcini, birch bolete, slippery jack or other - Add a note and a photo so you remember what the place actually looked like - Works fine without location permission - the manual pin is always there YOUR OWN MAP - All your spots on one map, as pins you can read at a glance - Full screen map when you want to look around, plus a simple list of every spot - Tap a pin to open the spot and see everything you saved there A HISTORY THAT BUILDS UP SEASON AFTER SEASON - Add a new find to a spot every time you come back - Each find keeps its date, note and photo - After a few seasons a spot tells you its own story: when it produces and what grows there FIND YOUR WAY BACK - Open any spot in your usual maps app and navigate straight to it - Come back next season and stand exactly where the mushrooms were COMPLETELY PRIVATE - Your spots are visible only to you. No feed, no community, no sharing - No public observation map, no one browsing your forest - You can start as a guest without giving any personal details, and add an email later if you want your spots on another phone WHAT MUSHMAP IS NOT It is not a mushroom identifier and not an atlas. It will not tell you whether a mushroom is edible - never eat anything you cannot identify yourself. MushMap does one thing: it remembers your places. Available in English and Polish.
