Mycelarium

Mycelarium is a meditative incremental game about growing a fungal network beneath a forest. You begin with a single mushroom, spread mycelium through the soil, discover resources and automate production as your organism develops into a self-sustaining network.

The forest and its soil

The forest is alive but not hostile. Falling leaves decay into food, hedgehogs wander across the surface, and trees can become future nutrient sources. The endless procedural underground contains food pockets, water reservoirs, hard soil and impassable stone. There is no rush or hard fail state, though expanding, adapting and connecting your network brings a quiet pressure.

Grow your network

You aim new growth with a slingshot-style control system, collect underground food pockets and connect to water reservoirs. You can improve your range, width, water efficiency, node cost, budding chance and ability to penetrate soil. Wind-carried spores let you establish distant new growth points.

Mushrooms and mutations

You unlock specialized mushroom mutations and build different mushrooms on the surface. You can also parasitize trees as you develop your fungal network.
