Hi everybody!
My name is Daniel, I live in Sweden and I'm a newbie on this forum.

I hope I'm not to blunt when I get right to the subject:
I'm trying to get in touch with mycologists who are recording sightings of fungi in a more organized manner, e.g. noting all species that are found in a specified area and then entering the records into a local or national database. The reason I'm asking is because of my current spare time project:
Speciotic
I'm currently working on an Android application for the Speciotic service, and I think a really cool feature would be to be able to record sightings on your mobile phone (preferably with built-in GPS!) and then send them over the Internet to the Speciotic web-page. When you get home, you log into Speciotic on your desktop computer and fetch your sightings in a suitable format (Excel, comma-separated etc.) for further processing. Your sightings are only available to yourself, at least until you choose to publish them.
Now, my questions are these:
1) Does anybody know of a similar mobile application for Android, iPhone or Windows Phone 7? If there's already a great app/service for this, I probably would aim my efforts at other parts of the service.
2) What properties are relevant to record along with the fungi? I can think of the obvious: position, date/time, fruitbody count, substrate, biotope... Any more?
3) Is there any British national web-page for recording these sightings? In Sweden we have
Artportalen, which by now contains some 25 million recordings. On Artportalen you can submit your observations either by hand or by uploading an Excel-sheet that has been formatted in a specific manner. Being able to download a ready-to-send Excel-sheet with your recordings from the Speciotic service would be another cool feature, and of course the same applies to any British web-page with similar functionality.
I hope somebody in here think this sounds interesting and could provide some information.
Kind regards,
Daniel Persson, Jönköping, Sweden
