Common questions
What do I get points for?
10 points for every find with a photo (up to 10 finds a day), 25 points for every new species in your collection and 20 points for every badge.
Can I lose points?
Yes. Points are always worked out afresh from your visible finds. If you delete a find or a moderator hides it, the points and badges it earned go with it.
Are there points for poisonous mushrooms too?
Yes, but for a photo, not for picking them. Recognising poisonous species in the forest is an important skill, which is why there is a badge for it: “Watchful eye”. Never put poisonous mushrooms in your basket.
What about protected species?
You can add a photo of a protected species as an observation, but do not pick it. Sizes of protected species are not included in the size rankings.
