Mycelarium is a meditative incremental game about spreading a fungal network through the soil, aiming every new thread with a slingshot-style drag and watching what the underground gives back. These pages are grouped by the job you are trying to do, so you can jump straight to the one that matches the problem in front of you.
Mycelarium controls and camera
- Controls — hold a node, drag to aim, release to grow a new hypha.
- Camera and navigation — pan, zoom and recentre once the network gets wide.
Mycelarium food, water and the night
- Getting more food — the four sources, and why food is the one that runs out.
- Leaf mulching — the unlock that turns falling leaves into a renewable supply.
- Water reservoirs — the blue pools, and what every shot costs in water.
- Rain bonus — free shots, fastest growth, and the cheapest way to farm points.
Mycelarium upgrades and points
- Upgrade tree — every node in HYPHAE, FRUITING BODIES and ENZYMES.
- Best upgrade order — there is no published list, and what to buy instead.
- Unlock points — points come from growing, and the same node keeps paying.
- What to do next — the demo has no win condition, so what is worth aiming at.
Mycelarium mushrooms and the surface
- Mushroom mutations — what each specialised mushroom does.
- Repeller Mushroom — the unlock that pushes the hedgehog back.
- Hedgehogs — they take surface mushrooms in about ten seconds.
- Surface mushrooms — spores and falling leaves come from above ground.
- Parasitizing trees — the enzyme path and the Tree Mushroom path.
Mycelarium underground and exploration
- Soil types — food pockets, reservoirs, hard soil and impassable stone.
- Wind-carried spores — seeding a growth point where no shot can reach.
