Presentation of the project Mikogest y de la APP smartbasket for a better knowledge of the different mushroom species
In the MIKOGEST project we have developed the smartbasket application, an App open to all users and downloadable to turn the mobile phone into a smart basket.
In addition to being a data collection device, it is an educational tool based on learning through gamification techniques, being a mobile technology and accessible to all users (GPS, camera, audio…). These techniques are based on learning that transfers the mechanics of games to the educational-professional field in order to achieve better results. In this case, the more tags you register in your application, the higher your ranking will be compared to other users. In addition, you will be able to access a greater number of species identification queries. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
Smartbasket aims to engage a collaborative society through Citizen Science. The aim is to stimulate active collaboration in the collection of field data from collectors and lovers of nature and the mycological resource, as well as to open a channel of information with society and raise awareness of the need to respect, care for and protect our mycological resource.
We will also count on the research team of the Department of Food Hygiene and Technology of the ULE to talk about the study “What is the best way to cook mushrooms”.
