dc.description.abstractMycomob, an open source Java application for mobile phones, is a comprehensive mushroom hunting and identification guide with visual and written descriptions of roughly 300 mushroom species commonly found in Finland. There are different areas within the application that were specifically designed to aid beginner, intermediate and advanced mushroom hunters. Alongside the Mycomob mobile application is a web community, which acts as a portal. From the Mycomob website, people can download the application, communicate with others interested in mushrooms via the bulletin board and contribute to the application by uploading more visual and written descriptions of mushroom species and furthering the programming. The concept of Mycomob was inspired from my interests in mobile phone technology and mushrooms. With mobile phone technology advancing at a rapid rate, I believe that mobile phone features, via a mobile phone application, can be utilised to revolutionize the conventional methods of mushroom identification. During the development of the Mycomob mobile application and web community, I was able to exercise and showcase my design capabilities, from web to icon design. Most importantly, I was able to develop and utilise my knowledge in design specifically for mobile applications, such as graphical user interfaces, interaction and usability.en
