So you’re walking in the woods and scanning mushrooms with your phone… and then what happens next?

A) my scan fails because my camera is dirty from being in the woods taking pictures all day, so I'm presented the option to create a note of some kind that gets sent to mycologists willing to receive them, who can then ask for more or better pictures, spore prints, etc.

B) I found an edible mushroom! I'm presented with notes from other people who also found that species and maybe a recipe or a seller's npub/shop. There's also a link to knowledge bases about it and an option to add my scan with any pertinent information to the cluster.

C.) I found a poisonous mushroom! Relevant advisories display first above all the other stuff with a big button to directly contact health professionals.

There's also some relay that collects my mushroom notes so I can browse, read, and chat about my findings with ease when I'm back home. I see the mycologist answered my question so i zap. It also shows me other people's findings, based on whatever criteria, in my social feed. And I possibly go mushroom hunting with a new friend the next weekend.

Interesting. Who’s the designated nostr mycologist? How do I verify? 😄

There's at least 1 trained mycologist who uses nostr occasionally... whether he would be interested in participating isn't something I could answer. But I'm just envisioning possibilities... in my mind it seems both ecosystems could benefit from eachother.
