Expeditions discover what exists. Experiments uncover what cannot exist.

REAL SPECIES ≠ FICTIONAL ANOMALY / GAME MODEL ≠ CULTIVATION ADVICE

01 / THE LIVING LOOP

Discover it.
Give it somewhere to live.

The habitat—not account setup, a marketplace or an inventory grid—is home. Every expedition should make the world in glass more personal, legible and alive.

  1. 01

    Expedition

    Choose a rotating discovery pool with visible contents and disclosed odds.

  2. 02

    Discover

    Reveal a natural species linked to a real public fungal record.

  3. 03

    Place

    Choose a zone in the glass habitat and make the specimen immediately visible.

  4. 04

    Tend

    Adjust moisture, light, temperature and substrate for the habitat.

  5. 05

    Observe

    See suitable, tolerable and stressed states respond to those controls.

  6. 06

    Experiment

    Burn Matrix, Pressure and Catalyst to create a separate fictional Anomaly child.

02 / NATURAL DISCOVERY TIERS

What exists can still surprise you.

Every expedition reveals exactly one natural specimen and no materials or secondary reward. The chase begins at reveal—not only after experimentation.

01 / DISCOVERY TIER70%

Frequent

The foundation of a living habitat

02 / DISCOVERY TIER25%

Uncommon

A less familiar form or visual language

03 / DISCOVERY TIER4%

Rare

A high-impact natural discovery

04 / DISCOVERY TIER1%

Signature

The defining specimen of an expedition

BAD-LUCK PROTECTIONAfter nine consecutive Frequent reveals, the tenth is at least Uncommon if Rare or Signature does not land.

KEEP THE MEANING CLEANDiscovery Tier describes scarcity inside Genara. It never implies conservation status, population decline or biological rarity.

03 / NATURAL SANCTUARY

Ten records.
Four independent capabilities.

All ten records can appear in Expeditions. Nine visible fungi can inhabit the glass habitat and Return to Mycelium; Saccharomyces cerevisiae enters the Microscope Archive. Eight assembly-backed macrofungi are Experiment-compatible, while taxonomy-backed Morchella esculenta remains Experiment-locked. Discovery Tier describes game scarcity—not conservation status or downstream capability.

04 / ANOMALY EXPERIMENT

Keep the origin species.
Create the impossible.

Return any natural specimen to Mycelium for three to six random materials, scaled by Discovery Tier. Assemble one Matrix, one Pressure and one Catalyst, then burn that recipe on a compatible retained specimen to create a separate fictional child.

ANOMALY PREVIEWFICTIONAL CHILD / RULESET FG–V1
AI-generated photorealistic simulation of fictional translucent oyster mushrooms in a mineral-rich cave.
ORIGIN SPECIESPleurotus ostreatus
AI-GENERATED VISUAL / FICTIONAL ORGANISM
SIMULATED DESCENDANT

Pleurotus vitralis

A fictional mineral-rich substrate produces translucent ribs and a glasslike cap edge.

Environment
Silicate shelf / low light
Expression
Crystalline lamellae
Status
Never existed
Replay
Deterministic

05 / RETURN TO MYCELIUM

Return a specimen.
Release experimental materials.

Returning is a voluntary, irreversible collection choice—not a refund. The live specimen leaves the habitat and a deterministic server receipt reveals its random yield.

NO CASH VALUE / NO BUYBACK

Expeditions contain one natural specimen and no bundled materials. Natural Discovery Tier changes only the number of random material units released: 3 / 4 / 5 / 6. Archive-only, Anomaly and Relic specimens cannot be returned. Genara does not promise repurchase, cash recovery, guaranteed liquidity or a minimum specimen price.

LIVING ECOSYSTEM / AUGUST 2026

Build a world
worth returning to.

Genara turns real fungal records into naturalistic specimens, personal glass habitats and rare fictional Anomalies. The current lab proves the deterministic mechanism; the living ecosystem comes next.
