HIGHLY DETAILED
The tree species data included in this app is 100 times more detailed than any similar dataset previously available. GeoPOI has other mushroom foraging apps using the old data - these apps are still useful because the included tree data works offline, but this new dataset reveals so much more information and works for the entire country! 

Data coverage is for the entire continental US, including the states of:

Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming!

AN APP FOR ALL
This app is an immensely powerful tool that can be used in many fields. Beyond just amateur and professional mycologists, individuals with interests in forestry and tree species, geologists, and other scientists will find a wealth of useful information embedded within. There truly is something for everyone. If you try it out and aren't satisfied for any reason, please reach out for a complete refund! We are certain that this app will help you to find new public lands and wild edible mushrooms. Be safe, and happy foraging!
