Where to look: honey fungus
A field over the measurement network. The colour here is for the leading species at each point, not for this one; a per-species layer is computed for one region so far.
About the species. Eaten in some parts of Europe, but only after thorough cooking, and it does not agree with everyone. Raw or undercooked Honey Fungus can cause gastrointestinal illness, and some people react even to cooked mushrooms. It is not suitable for inexperienced foragers because other brown mushrooms grow on the same wood, including the deadly Funeral Bell. Do not use a single feature such as the ring to identify it.

A regional boundary means nothing to a mushroom, and the next region is sometimes closer than the far side of your own. The index is for today.
