One puzzle a day: 8 wild mushrooms, the same 8 for everyone on the planet. Call each one edible, poisonous or neither — then find out what it actually was, and why.
Play today’s puzzleResets at midnight UTCPractice modeUnlimited rounds · 84 speciesEvery photo is a real observation pulled live from iNaturalist, taken by naturalists in the field on six continents. You never see the same tidy field-guide picture twice — you get mushrooms as they actually look in the leaf litter, at the wrong angle, in bad light. Which is the whole difficulty.
Guessing mode accepts the scientific name or the common name, so it doesn’t matter whether you learned it as a Fly Agaric or a Fliegenpilz.
This is a game, not a field guide. Never use it to decide whether a wild mushroom is safe to eat. Edibility varies by region, preparation and person, and deadly species have edible lookalikes no photo can separate.
