Description

Know which forests are worth the drive before you leave home. Houby colors the map by how well forest, recent rain and temperature favor wild mushrooms right now, from "Mushrooms unlikely" to "Excellent conditions". Tap any forest to see why it scores the way it does and what's holding it back. • CONDITIONS MAP: every forest scored for today, so you can skip the dry woods • THE WEEK AHEAD: see which day this week is best for each forest • FLUSH TIMELINE: mushrooms follow soaking rain by 1–4 weeks, most often 8–18 days. See where each forest is in that cycle • BETTER NEARBY: Houby points you to a better forest close by and compares the two side by side • TRIP PLANNER: the best forests within driving distance for the day you choose, with real driving times • SUNNY FOREST EDGES: south- and east-facing forest edges that warm up first, from 10 m tree-cover data (Europe) • WORM RISK: warm nights mean wormy mushrooms. Houby estimates it from night temperatures • WALK A SPOT: the Lock Screen shows how the forest under your feet scores and the way back to your car • SAVED SPOTS AND ALERTS: keep an eye on your favorite places and get a notification when the next three days look good • SAFETY NOTES: which deadly species are out this month and the lookalikes to rule out, with local and Latin names • PROTECTED AREAS: where picking is limited or banned (Central Europe for now) The score combines tree cover, rain over the last weeks, soil temperature, the season at that altitude, and recent frost or heat. It was calibrated on thousands of recorded mushroom finds in Central Europe and now scores forests worldwide. Weather comes from Apple Weather. Houby covers forests worldwide, wherever Apple Weather and satellite tree-cover data reach. ALL FREE Every feature is free: no subscription, no ads, no account.

Your saved spots, reports and walks stay on your iPhone. Download Houby and check your nearest forest before the weekend. Houby never identifies mushrooms. Never eat a mushroom unless you're completely sure what it is; ask an expert or a mushroom advice center.
