TMA - Fungi Determination App

In this Thursday episode of Talking Trees, we spotlight a practical digital tool developed by Tim Moya Associates (TMA)—a free mobile app designed to help arborists and tree managers identify wood-decay fungi on trees in the UK.

We discuss:

• How the app simplifies fungi identification through intuitive menus, photos, and information on decay type, host species, and ecological role
• Its value for field-based arborists, consultants, and students seeking fast, reliable fungal data
• TMA’s broader work in arboriculture, ecology, and land management, and how this app reflects their commitment to practical, accessible tools
• The role of fungi identification in tree risk assessment, conservation, and long-term management planning
• How apps like this enhance knowledge-sharing and diagnostic confidence, especially for early-career professionals or those without specialist mycological training

This episode highlights the growing power of digital tools in arboriculture, bridging expertise with everyday decision-making in the field.
