Where can you find mushrooms?

MycoWiki answer

Mushrooms occur in many habitats, and no coordinate can guarantee a species. Begin with an accessible area where several structures can be compared, such as a forest edge, closed woodland, visible dead wood, litter, a slope or a transition between stands. MycoRadar helps prioritise areas by context, while SwissFungi and scientific sources document known records without providing a complete inventory. In the field, record only trees and substrates that you can genuinely recognise. Respect access rules, signs and protected areas. Looking effectively means reading a habitat methodically, not following a harvest promise or publishing a sensitive exact location.
