LIVING BIODIVERSITY COLLECTION / CLOSED ALPHA IN DEVELOPMENT

YourLivingCollection

Open expeditions to discover real fungi—including Rare and Signature natural specimens. Place them in a personal terrarium, watch the habitat develop, and choose whether a natural specimen returns to Mycelium to release experimental materials.

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.
Eight in the active pool.

Eight assembly-backed macrofungi are reveal-eligible across four Discovery Tiers. Saccharomyces cerevisiae remains a registry-only microscopic reference and Morchella esculenta stays archive-only. Tiers are product designations—not conservation claims.

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.

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.

CLOSED ALPHA / TEST CREDITS
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.

06 / PROOF BENEATH PLAY

Invisible when you play.
Verifiable when you look.

Genara starts with an automatically created account and keeps technical infrastructure beneath the habitat. The pitchable slice adds one sponsored ownership receipt targeting Robinhood Chain.

01 / CANONICAL STATE

The game stays offchain.

Habitat conditions, material balances and routine simulation never depend on chain availability.

02 / SPONSORED PROOF

No setup required.

One independently verifiable receipt commits provenance and lineage without exposing private player data.

03 / LOCKED POSTURE

Robinhood-targeted EVM.

No second chain, bridge or parallel ownership contract enters the MVP without a new product decision.

07 / BUILD GATES

Small enough to prove.
Large enough to discover.

0110/08

Self-serve alpha

Ten sourced records, eight active macrofungi and all four Discovery Tiers.

0212–20

Pitchable ecosystem

A polished habitat, material loop, guest view and proof receipt.

0324–36

Closed beta

The minimum catalogue for meaningful discovery and return testing.

0440–100

Evidence expansion

Catalogue growth only after attachment and retention justify the art cost.

08 / FIELD QUESTIONS

Keep the boundary visible.

01What is real, and what is fictional?

Every origin species is anchored to a public scientific record and shown with naturalistic documentary imagery. Every Anomaly is a separate, clearly labeled game simulation. Genara never presents a fictional descendant as a natural species.

02How does experimentation work?

Expeditions contain no materials. Returning a natural specimen to Mycelium releases three to six random beta materials into the demo inventory according to its Discovery Tier. Assemble one Matrix, one Pressure and one Catalyst, then burn that recipe on a compatible retained specimen to create a separate fictional Anomaly child.

03How rare are natural discoveries?

The disclosed base bands are 70% Frequent, 25% Uncommon, 4% Rare and 1% Signature. After nine consecutive Frequent reveals, the tenth is at least Uncommon if the Rare or Signature roll does not land. Discovery Tier is Genara game scarcity—not conservation status.

04Can I reclaim a specimen for materials?

Any reveal-eligible natural specimen can Return to Mycelium. The action permanently retires it from the living collection and releases three, four, five or six random materials according to Discovery Tier. It creates no cash, credit, buyback or price floor.

05Where does ownership live during beta?

Your Genara Account is created automatically and the server remains canonical during beta. A later sponsored ownership receipt can make provenance and lineage independently verifiable without changing ordinary play.

06Why are there only eight active fungi?

They are the first self-serve alpha pool, not the final closed-beta catalogue. Eight macrofungi are reveal-eligible, Saccharomyces cerevisiae remains registry-only, and Morchella esculenta remains archive-only. The pitchable ecosystem still needs 12–20 fungi and external closed beta needs 24–36.

LIVING ECOSYSTEM / JULY 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.
