Fungaria: Mushroom Foraging

Fungaria is a first-person walk through 3D woods after rain: morning light through the trees, low fog, drops falling from leaves, puddles on the trail, and the sound of birds from each forest. READ THE WOODS Each mushroom grows with its trees. Look what's nearby: pine, beech, chestnut, oak, birch, or spruce, whether there's moss, a clearing, or fallen wood. LOOK AT EACH MUSHROOM UP CLOSE Crouch down and rotate it with your finger. Tilt it to see the gills or pores, look for the ring, and dig around the base in case it hides a volva. Smell it and squeeze it: some mushrooms stain blue or release milk. Then decide: cut it with your knife or leave it. THE MYCOLOGIST SHOWS NO MERCY When you return, the mycologist inspects your basket mushroom by mushroom. If you have a single toxic one, the whole basket gets tossed and you learn why. WHAT IT HAS • Pine forest, beech forest, chestnut forest, oak forest, boreal forest, and Appalachian forest, each with its own weather that changes as you walk • 120 real species, modeled one by one, with their names from each country and their dangerous look-alikes • Real season based on the date and your hemisphere, with events like morel week • Field journal with species cards, size records, and rarities • Foray of the day: the same woods for everyone, with leaderboards by region • Forays of 5 to 8 minutes, no rushing and no ads The pine and beech forests with 30 species are free. The rest of the forests and species unlock with a one-time purchase. WARNING Fungaria is a game. Never eat a mushroom based on what a game, an app, or a photo says. If you pick real mushrooms, always show them to a mycologist or mycological society.
