Well for starters, contributions to their catalog are currently collected in two ways, via the website and a simple mobile app. Adding Nostr identities & changing entries to Nostr events would open the door for social clients to implement the functionality of their app and open up their forums to more easily accessible mobile discussion, as well as all the nostr desktop/web ways to access conversation. They could increase their activity and contributor base with little effort. This would all benefit current nostr/shoomers, and introduce mushroomobserver users to the portable identity and interoperability thay we all enjoy. Then, there is the relay part, which would help to keep the data redundant and available, reducing dependency on their servers, which I believe have been struggling with AI scraping recently, making their mission to keep data free and widely accessible more difficult. Anyone who wanted to operate a mycology oriented relay could manage entries and discussions in whatever way they see fit, whether that be professional, amateur, location based, by foraging group, etc. The need to moderate would be distributed to the relay operators. There would be no reason why their system couldn't still collect and maintain a huge database of entries... or they could simply serve everything on their site as connections from a set of chosen relays. Accessing that data from the user side would make it easier to navigate and reduce chances of the site disappearing along with all entries. Their goal keeping community collected data available to the community would be distributed amongst the community. I think it's a perfect fit. As far as pitching this... that probably would be my pitch, but somebody who could look over their codebase & see if Nostr does actually solve some of their problems and/or make their lives easier, would really need to tack on some technical understanding.
