Other Considerations

Desktop Version. This app is also available to use on PC or Mac via the phone image on its download landing page.

FungiOz app is internet based so it:

Doesn't hog space on a mobile device

Has unlimited expansion capacity

Is not automatically available in mobile dead zones but can be downloaded before fungi forays into black spots as follows.

While you have reception

1. Access each of the five collections for long enough to see all the photo icons.

2. Open every category icon in each collection, again for long enough to see all the species icons within it.

Now, all the collections will be resident on your mobile device for a considerable time. However, the search function won't work and only one photo will display for each of the fungi species.
