Grow, cook, forage, and learn — an open-source fungal ecosystem.

aFungusAmongUs is a playful but practical open-source project for all things fungi.

• How to grow (DIY builds, reminders, sensors, sourcing).
• How to cook (recipes + nutrition).
• How to know (species encyclopedia).
• How to find (foraging maps + seasonal data).
• How to identify (AI photo classifier, poisonous look-alike warnings).
• How to learn (SporeLore: books, tools, research).

From building DIY grow kits to mapping morel flushes, it’s part cultivation log, part forager’s toolkit, part digital grimoire.

• GrowLogs – Track cycles, humidity, misting reminders, and yields.

• EnclosureCraft – DIY guides, CAD files, and sourcing lists for monotubs, tents, and lab setups.

• SporeSensors – Raspberry Pi / Arduino integration for humidity, temp, and CO₂ monitoring.

• SubstrateLab – Recipes + prep guides for coir, hardwood, grains, and LC.

  • Environment Tracking
  • Log temperature/humidity (manual or via sensors).
  • Smart reminders for misting, fanning, flushes, and harvest.
  • Charts: RH% vs. yield, colonization timeline vs. species averages.

• DIY Builds

  • Guides for monotubs, Martha tents, and spawn bags.
  • CAD-style diagrams + Bill of Materials (BOM).
  • Configurable builds: budget vs. lab-grade.

• Sensors & Automation

  • Raspberry Pi/Arduino integration for humidity/temp sensors.
  • Code snippets for controlling fans/humidifiers via smart plugs.
  • Live dashboards + alert thresholds.

• Materials & Sourcing

  • Substrate recipes (CVG, hardwood blocks, supplemented sawdust).
  • Spawn prep: grain jars, bags, liquid culture.
  • “Where to buy” lists (regional vendors).
  • DIY sterilization/pasteurization guides.

• FungiFeast – Curated mushroom recipe collection with nutrition profiles.

  Eat

• Recipe collection linked to mushroom type.

• Nutritional info + substitution suggestions.

• Forager’s Kitchen: wild-to-table prep.

• Sporepedia – Encyclopedia of gourmet, medicinal, and wild mushrooms.

  Know

• Gourmet, medicinal, and wild mushrooms.

• Growing conditions, culinary uses, medicinal notes.

• Look-alike warnings to avoid dangerous mix-ups.

• ForageMap – Seasonal/weather-based mapping of wild mushrooms.
• TreeCompanions – Data on tree/fungal associations (chanterelles, morels, etc.).

• Seasonal + weather overlays to predict flushes.
• Crowd-sourced “hot spots” (ethical harvesting only).
• Tree/soil association filters.

• SporeSight – Upload a photo → returns likely species + poisonous look-alikes.
• FungusAPI – REST API for mushroom data, weather patterns, and ID integration.

• Upload photo → returns likely species + confidence score.
• Poison look-alike alerts.
• REST API for mushroom ID + weather-foraging data.

• SporeLore – Educational resources: books, field guides, research papers, tools.

• Curated library of resources:
  • Books + field guides.
  • Cultivation tools + equipment.
  • Academic papers + open research.
• Beginner → advanced learning tracks.
