The Shroomify Research Project

What the records suggest about The Prince

The project has analysed over a million matched fungal events alongside weather and habitat data. These findings describe patterns in the study, not conditions that every fruitbody must follow.

Weather or season?

The normal seasonal pattern is the more useful guide here. No short-term weather effect passed the project’s checks for a clear, repeatable link.
