Mushroom Cultivation Tracker


Ever since I got back into cultivation, I kept running into the same problem: scattered notes, vague descriptions, photos stored somewhere else — data that completely lost its coherence a few weeks later. Anyone else relate?

I usually prepare lots of PF-Tek cakes, work with several strains, and take prints from interesting specimens to track lineage. At some point my brain simply ran out of room. I couldn't find an app that kept me organized without friction, so I built one around my own workflow — especially with how easy "vibe coding" makes things nowadays (otherwise, it would have meant a few weeks of barely sleeping).

I never planned to share it. But after a few weeks of use, and the relief of having everything neatly in one place, I figured some of you might find it useful too.

MycoLab — offline-first mushroom cultivation tracker (single HTML file, no accounts, no server)



One HTML file, works on PC and mobile, no account needed, and nothing leaves your device.

HOW IT WORKS

Four main tabs — Summary, Cultures, Spores, Strains — plus a "+ New" button.

Start by adding a Strain with a short code and a full name (e.g. "MR" = "Matias Romero"). From then on, every new culture (PF-Tek, Bulk, BRF Puck, Agar or LC) gets a unique ID automatically. Example: MR013P3

• MR — strain code
• 013 — culture number
• P — type (P = PF-Tek, B = Bulk, BP = BRF Puck, A = Agar, LC = Liquid Culture)
• 3 — lineage generation



When creating a culture you can add its source (a print, or the ID of another culture/agar). Preparing six identical cakes? Create them in one go — up to 50 per batch, with consecutive codes.

Every culture gets its own page: full lineage path, basic info, day counter, current status, a ★ selection mark with your own criteria, notes, photos, flushes with fresh yield weight, and a status history showing the day each change happened and how long each stage lasted.
- PF-Tek / Bulk / BRF Puck statuses: Colonizing, Consolidation, Fruiting, Resting, Finished, Contaminated
- Agar/LC statuses: Active, Contaminated, Discarded

CULTURES tab: all your cultures with quick info, search by code or strain name, and filters by strain, type (PF / B / BP / A / LC) and status.

SPORES tab: register each print/swab with strain, generation, source, date, storage, status (fresh / viable / degraded / discarded), notes and photos — and see which cultures were derived from it.

SUMMARY tab: counts by status, this month's yield, total yield, and your latest harvests.

IMPORTANT — HOW YOUR DATA IS STORED

- Your data lives in your browser's local storage and saves automatically. Nothing is uploaded anywhere: once the page has loaded, the app makes no network requests (fonts are embedded — open the file in a text editor and search for "http", you won't find any).
- That storage is per device, per browser and per address. The online version, a local copy of the file and your phone are separate databases. To back up or move your data, use Export / Import: a single JSON file with everything, photos included (encoded as base64).
- Clearing site data — or a browser cleaning up sites you haven't opened in a while (Safari can do this) — can wipe it. Export a JSON regularly!
- Photos are downscaled to a maximum of 512 px on the longest side (JPEG) to keep things light. Lots of photos means a big JSON.
- Known limits: no sync between devices, no encryption.

This is exciting, thank you bel!

I’m unfamiliar with vibe coding I need to do some research :cheers:

Really nice! I'm working on something similar and you've hit a lot of the same pain points, clearly. Batching, label codes, etc. Props for the local-first / security-minded approach.

Thanks, I'm glad you guys like it.

Ras, I've actually thought about your optical system with QR codes several times. Incorporating a reader into it should be relatively easy, but embedding it inside would probably increase the file size significantly. Though I imagine there must be JS readers out there.

Or even barcodes, because for handwritten text you'd already need AI text recognition modules. Scanning labels from a phone would be convenient. Although I'll leave that for anyone who wants to modify it.

Not all of us have label printers, after all. :smile2:

I still don't know how it will handle it when the JSON data file gets big — I might run a test these days.

Hugs :heart:

Oh man I’m digging this, I’ve been playing around with it for a few hours it’s great!

I’m not a personal fan of AI or rather its trajectory but god damn it’s hard to argue such convenience

If you’re planning on releasing new iterations at all I selfishly would love to see a couple things added :yesnod:
These are things that would be cool imo, if you don’t care by all means tell me to fuck off and make my own BUT like I said, I’m eating this up and a few tweaks would make it damn near perfect

It would be cool if you could rearrange the order of the strains and edit the name

the prints tab could maybe benefit from being a spore tab with the option to select between print or swab similar to how the culture allows for agar/pf/brfp

If when adding a new culture the source code and source print would have a dropdown suggested search ordeal

Also an option for LC in the substrate dropdown :crazy2:

By any means, jazzy as fuck, I’ve been really stressing about my cult notes or lack thereof and this is a gift

A million thanks for your feedback, Tri!

You're totally right, I really like your suggestions. And of course we'll add those features. I'll get on it tonight and update the link when it's ready.

And don't even get me started on how much the rise of AI screwed me over at first. I used to get occasional gigs building websites. We also had a patron who commissioned visual art for her projects... It was a mess. :mad2:

It took me ~4 months to write a voice assistant for my corporal mime exercises. I've always been really curious about this stuff. And it's true that earlier models outputted pretty unreliable code... but now they're actually great for certain things.

And if I want an app, I can save myself weeks of headaches — why not? I'd rather spend that time with my partner, cultivating, or browsing Shroomery. :lol:

Hugs :heart:

I've seen some talk around about some app. Glad I found it, through that beef's lovely message in NOTM! Man this is dope. I'm telling you I've just started and wanted to keep track of things and my damn pen kept dying so I switched to journal app on my phone but that was PITA to tidy up. This! This is what I need. If you need any help don't hesitate to ask. Great work and contribution to this wonderful community you are now a pillar of!:seriousthankyou:

Thanks Reishi! Glad to hear you might find it useful.

I actually updated it to the new version just yesterday with the changes Tri suggested.

If you have any suggestions or run into any bugs — please let me know.

Hugs :heart:
