Fungaria
Real mushrooms in the woods
What it is
Walk through 3D woods after rain, find 120 real mushrooms, and pass the mycologist's inspection. Never eat a mushroom based on what a game says.
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

- Field journal with species cards, size records, and rarities

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.
Frequently asked questions
How to play
Left thumb to walk and right to look. At the top you see what tree is nearby, if there's moss or a clearing: each species appears with its trees. When you're near a mushroom, tap "Crouch". Swipe to turn it and tilt it to see the gills or pores; dig if the base is buried. Then cut it or leave it.
The mycologist
On return, the mycologist checks the basket. If you have a single toxic or deadly mushroom, they throw out the whole basket, as a real one would.
Season
Each species appears in its months. The game uses your phone's date and your hemisphere (you can change it in Settings). If a forest is out of season, you can forage in its best month.
Daily foray
Each day there's one foray that's the same for everyone. Your best basket for that day counts toward the leaderboard for your region.
Purchases
Free you have the pine forest and the beech forest with 30 species. The Full Basket (one-time payment) unlocks the 6 forests and 120 species. If you change phones, use "Restore purchases" in the store or in Settings.
Never eat a mushroom based on what a game says
Fungaria does not give advice for eating mushrooms. If in any doubt, ask a mycologist.
