How it works
Snap
A leaf, a mushroom, a bird on a branch: take a photo.
Identify
The app suggests the species. Confirm it, or pick it yourself from the catalogue.
Collect
The species joins your Vivodex with its number, and your badges move forward.
A real field guide to Québec
Every species has its own page, written for the field.
Where and when to look
Its habitats, the months to see it and its best season.
What not to confuse it with
Its look-alikes, especially the dangerous ones: wild leek looks like green false hellebore, which is highly toxic.
How to respect it
A protected species' location is never shown, and harvesting rules are always there.
Never eat a plant or a mushroom identified only with an app.
A collection that follows the seasons
New species arrive in expansions: the launch, the seasons, events like the May Bioblitz. Some are announced ahead, with a countdown.
