Nexstrata: Mushroom Data Modeling
Nexstrata is a data modeling platform built to make sense of mushroom observation data at scale. It pulls in species records from iNaturalist and GBIF, runs them through enrichment pipelines in Google Earth Engine, and trains MaxEnt habitat models to predict where fungi are likely to occur across Colorado's landscapes.
The platform lets you explore species distribution maps, compare habitat suitability across elevation zones, and dig into the environmental variables (precipitation, soil type, canopy cover) that shape where different fungi thrive. It's designed for both curious members and researchers who want to go deeper than a species list.
FRMS observation data feeds directly into the models, so every foray find you log on iNaturalist contributes to the science.
