Rubroboletus satanas

Poisonous: never pick it to eat.

This is a game, not a field guide. Never eat a wild mushroom or plant because of it; if you are unsure, ask a mushroom advisor or a poison centre.

Did you know?

  • It is rare in many countries and appears on red lists of threatened fungi, because it needs warm, lime-rich woods.
  • It is poisonous and can cause severe vomiting and diarrhoea.

Could you guess it from clues?

WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
