Get out of the rows and let us know where you pick your best mushrooms with uMap, an unpublished interactive map!
Ancient tradition, the cult of secrecy around the location of our mushroom corners takes lead in the wing with the advent of new technologies. Indeed, some are attached to the rule that the fungus deserves, it must be sought with love and passion, it enjoys a special method of picking to master and, above all, it must well be assimilated the art of preparation. This is the reason why many lovers and enthusiasts are reluctant to share their best mushroom corners, while fearing that they will be looted by people who are not respectful of this plant with a thousand virtues.
But it was before the technology blends into the folder, since now thanks to a rich interactive map, you can geolocate and share your favorite pick points.
Christophe Boutet, the man who puts an end to tradition
Christophe Boutet is the current president of a computer training school in the city of Besançon. He himself amateur of mushrooms and in the spirit of facilitating the sharing of the best mushroom picking corners, this enthusiast of new technologies has developed an unpublished interactive map, baptized uMap . On uMap, any user will have the opportunity to access the collection corners of the entire community, without any identification, or even registration. Using a writing/reading principle, the interactive map will be able to view new information (coins) through the visits.
In addition to wanting to break with the cult of secrecy and tradition, to propose to the free consumption of thousands of mushroom picking places, uMap is above all the project aimed at bringing together and gathering fungi lovers, to share this passion with those who would be interested but not knowing where to start in this vast world full of varieties in all kinds. This permanent exchange of gathering corners can also be of great help to discover new places, where to find the rare pearl.
Besançon is, but not that...
Mainly updated by residents living around Besançon, the interactive map uMap of Christophe Boutet has also seduced some nationals of other contes of France, including Auvergne, Lannion, Montpellier and Toulouse.
A "free" project
We only rarely talked about the “Free” world on our site, but without it, the Web would simply not turn. With the iron launch of computer systems and infrastructure based on the OS Linux or others with UNIX cores, the world of free is at the origin of many more things than you imagine, starting with the creation of Android. Yes, the operating system of your smartphones is from the Opensource world. Christophe Boutet began to develop his interactive map on OpenStreetsMaps, the opensource, free and free of charge from Google Maps, with a lot of enthusiasm.
The result is quite interesting, even if there are some minor bugs or bugs left here and there. What to do, you now have to do the hunt for Morilles, Chanterelles and Coprin chevelu.
