Find more mushrooms. Waste less time.

ShroomCast

The spot is perfect. The season is right. The basket is empty.

When Effort Leads to Emptiness.

Explore a tranquil forest path lined with tall pine trees and lush greenery. Ideal for nature enthusiasts.

We’ve all been there

You go to your favorite mushroom spot during the season — and it’s completely empty.
No mushrooms. Just silence and disappointment.

What if you want to explore new places?

How do you confidently explore new areas if you’re not sure anything is growing at all?
Sometimes you even take a day off, or a short vacation — only to return with an empty basket.

Social media doesn’t help

We’ve all seen it: “Went out yesterday — nothing out there!”
Then suddenly someone posts a photo of a perfect harvest… and everyone runs to the forest.
Enough guessing. Be the first.


About Us​

Your smart mushroom foraging companion.

ShroomCast helps you predict when and where to find a selection of edible mushrooms — based on real weather, forest ecosystems, moon phases, and observation data.

Mushroom hunting has always been a deeply natural, intuitive experience — a walk through the forest, guided by scent, memory, and a bit of luck.

But what if intuition could be enhanced?

ShroomCast brings science into the woods — using environmental data, forest mapping, soil analysis, and even lunar cycles to predict the best times for foraging.

Beyond Habits and Hunches

By combining thousands of past observations with real-time weather and ecosystem models, ShroomCast gives you insight that no calendar or habit ever could.

Still Nature — Just Smarter

It’s still nature. But now, it’s backed by science.

Where Nature Meets Science.​


What does ShroomCast analyze?

It’s not just weather — our prediction model takes into account everything mushrooms care about.

Temperature

Our model uses real-time and historical temperature data to detect ideal conditions for fruiting.

Sea Level

We include sea level elevation in our model to account for regional microclimates and terrain-driven humidity variations.

Cloud Cover

Too much sun dries the ground. We analyze cloud cover to find balanced conditions.

Soil Moisture

Dry soil means no growth. We use existing environmental data to estimate forest floor moisture in real time.

Soil Temperature

It’s not just the air — the earth matters too.

Humidity

High humidity keeps the forest moist — perfect for mushrooms.

Rainfall

Analyzes short-term and cumulative rainfall to model ground saturation.

Pressure

Changes in atmospheric pressure often signal mushroom activity shifts.

Moon Phase

Subtle but real — lunar cycles influence certain species.


Species-Level Precision

Not just “mushrooms.” Each species.

Abundance

We model expected fruiting levels for each mushroom species using past sightings and environmental triggers.

Soil Preference

ShroomCast takes into account which soil compositions each species prefers in each region.

Forest Type

Whether pine, birch, or mixed — every species has its favorite forest type. We match it.

Seasonality

Models reflect when each species typically appears in your region — even for short fruiting windows.
