Mushroom identification app?

Hey all
I'm going on a serious hunt this weekend in the Berkshires, and I'd love to ID as many shrooms in the field as possible. Rather than bring my books, which are good but heavy, does anyone know if there is a really good identification app? Baring that, maybe a convenient hyperlinked PDF version of a book? I'm hoping one of you can help me out, I want the future NOW!

Mushroomobserver.org is great, it's what I use most when attempting a field ID. It's great. They have a mobile site or app, I forget which. A member here put it together.
There is a Rogers mushroom app I had but I deleted it, wasn't worth the space.

Yeah, the Rogers one sucked. I don't want to use the net out there, may not even have signal, so a standalone app would be better. It'd be cool if it cane with a simple dichotomous key too

Just an off-topic forum. Nothing crazy. Here's the first post with the info, I didn't know the minimum post count was that high:
I could copy paste the info in the post but maybe I should check to see if that's ok first.

fungitron is a good app, but has no active species.

Yeah, I was eyeing the fungiton one. Here in Massachusetts, the only active species I ever find are Gyms, and I know them. There may be various Pans and other small LBM types that are active, but I can do without identifying them.
