About the application:

The forests and woodlands of Massachusetts are ecosystems rich with edible wild mushrooms if you know where to look.

It is a well-known fact that certain varieties of mushrooms tend to spawn in the vicinity of specific types of trees.

In addition to defining the link between trees and mushrooms, this apk goes one step further. An inventory of millions of data points from forest stands across the state has been filtered and processed to clearly highlight specific places that have the highest probability of yielding a harvest of mushrooms.

The data is attributed with Unit Names from the Public Land dataset - this method you can determine the name of the places you are considering hunting and receive any important permissions. Fortunately, it is legal to forage for private consumption on most state-owned lands in the United States, but it is always best to be sure!
