The Forest Guardian checks the mushrooms in the Guardian's basket one by one

Safety

The most important thing in Gribo is that nobody eats a poisonous mushroom. Everything else comes second.

Suspected mushroom poisoning? Call 112. Do not wait for symptoms — with the most dangerous mushrooms they appear only after many hours. Take the leftover mushrooms (including peelings) to the doctor. Everyone who ate the dish should see a doctor.

Gribo's rules

  1. Gribo never says that a mushroom can be eaten.

    An identification is always “probably”, with a percentage and a list of look-alikes. Edibility is for a mushroom expert to decide.

  2. A red banner = a possible deadly poisonous mushroom.

    It appears when the sum of probabilities of deadly species exceeds 5% — regardless of what is in first place. There is also an amber warning about genera that include deadly species (e.g. amanitas, dapperlings, galerinas, webcaps).

  3. Take three shots: cap, underside and stem base.

    The volva at the base of amanitas is often hidden in the litter — without it the identification is uncertain.

  4. Protected species are marked.

    The Atlas shows strict or partial protection in Poland and has a filter for protected species, and the species card reminds you: do not pick, take a photo. There are no game targets for them.

  5. Warning colours never change.

    No skin weakens the warnings — warning colours are the same in every one. The free Winter skin has high contrast for full sunlight.
