### 5/5 — One of THE BEST card games on the App Store

*2022-08-15, version 1.34*

If you even sort of like strategic card games, this is a must play!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-07-13*

This game is fun, AI is pretty good, versus mode is also great.  You can play with someone else in real time but it also allows for correspondence play, meaning you can take up to 24 hours per move.  Great for playing multiple games at once.  Good work.  This is a great app.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly Strategic

*2022-07-03, version 1.34*

A well implemented app that actually got me to buy the physical game. A real gem!

### 5/5 — Great UI

*2022-07-01, version 1.34*

This app has a great user experience that makes it easy to play this fun game.

### 5/5 — Problems once added Forays

*2022-04-26, version 1.34*

I love this game but since adding forays I am finding it impossible to do certain actions, like dragging shiitake to shiitake log, cooking 5+ with cider, using chef etc.
Is this a problem you have heard about?

### 5/5 — Good implementation. Bug fixes needed.

*2022-03-03*

Good implementation and fun to play. AI is good. Two fixes:
1) When taking a Destroying Angel, you can run into the situation where you’re not able to play anything. The app currently just gets stuck. The rules book says that if you can’t do anything because of a Destroying Angel, then your turn is skipped and your opponent gets his next turn. 
2) On my iPad, I can’t see the names of the cards because of the white line at the bottom of the device.

### 5/5 — Brain Food

*2022-01-09, version 1.34*

Morels stimulates brain function. Perfect for people with Parkinson’s Disease. Spend some time in the “Forest “!

### 5/5 — Great Couple Fun

*2021-05-08, version 1.34*

Easy to learn game. Head to head mode is awesome - my wife and I play each other almost every night.

### 5/5 — Love this game!!!

*2021-04-21*

I tell all my friends about it. Can be a 5-10min game or do a turn and come back later. You can play the computer to better yourself at 3 different levels. Only thing I wish Is that there was a way to message your opponent during the game play.

### 5/5 — Me n mom

*2021-01-08, version 1.34*

Play this all the time. Loads of fun.

### 4/5 — Wonderful game!

*2020-12-01*

Morels is a fantastic card game that is so enjoyable! Everything about the game feels laid back and relaxing, but it also has depth and complexity for anyone seeking a challenge. The games are not long, which is great because you can always find time to play, and you keep getting better because you improve a little every game. The art, music and sound is also wonderfully done. I’ll never get tired of how satisfying it sounds to sell, grab and cook the mushrooms.

Things to improve
iPad Pro bar
- The iPad Pro home screen bar covers the names of the cards in your hand. This is annoying and it would be great to see an update that fixes this. If this were fixed I would give it five stars!

### 5/5 — Beautiful, fun game

*2020-11-28*

I own the board game and I love it.  The only thing from the board game I am not a fan of, but this app takes care of it. Beautiful art, easily taught and quick paced, this is a game I always fall back to time and time again.

### 4/5 — Display problem

*2020-11-04, version 1.34*

Since ipad and iPhones no more have an home button, there is a line to the bottom of the screen. The line actually hide the number of mushroom in the deck information, which is pretty annoying. 

Please move a bit higher the cards on the screen or make the app hide the line like some other apps do. 

Other than that, nice graphics and sounds

### 1/5 — I want a refund

*2021-11-16, version 1.34*

What is this? Horrible game.

### 2/5 — Slow online games

*2024-02-12, version 1.41*

When playing online games, the turns take forever to get through. It’s as if the app freezes between every turn. Please fix!

### 2/5 — Great Game but Cannot Get Online Friends to Work

*2020-02-03, version 1.34*

I love this game, but my wife and I cannot get online play to work. We both are using IPad pros with the latest IOS software updated. Hoping for some assistance from developers here...thanks!

### 3/5 — I LOVE this game, BUT very buggy.

*2023-07-15*

We have had the card game for years now and it’s great having a mobile version as well. I’m really disappointed at how many game breaking issues there are though. A lot of the foray cards don’t actually work, for example: Using, I chose 4 cards of the same cool value (two different types of mushroom) and the game highlights them, but I’m unable to cook them. There are a number of similar issues I keep running into and it’s ruining the game for me. PLEASE fix this!! It’s been 4 years since the last update and there is clearly some work to do!

### 3/5 — Needs some updates

*2021-02-14, version 1.34*

Please fix the home bar issue and the online play. This would be 5 stars if those issues were fixed!

### 3/5 — Wonky tonk app

*2020-02-28, version 1.34*

Fixes that need to happen for 5 stars:

Rainforest system displays cards cut off. 

Pan system is annoying and takes up your hand without app auto using the pan in your hand should be set as default.

You can’t use butter and cider extras together at same time.

Shiitake log doesn’t always create shiitake bonus after cooking.

### 3/5 — I prefer Jaipur

*2019-04-26, version 1.2*

Very similar to Jaipur. Jaipur has a campaign for solo play so I prefer it plus its easier to understand. 

Both games need WIN/LOSS records vs ai.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2025-10-05*

I love everything about this game but it doesn’t seem to register when another player takes their turn. Im playing on an iPad and I have to exit the game and refresh for every single turn I take so see what the other player did. It ruins the whole experience. Otherwise I’d give this 5 stars

### 4/5 — Online play slow.

*2024-04-30*

24 hours to play your turn is too long. One game can take weeks. Limit the time to 30 seconds so each player has to stay vested in the game until it’s complete.

### 4/5 — Great game, but doesn’t follow rules for a tie

*2022-12-19, version 1.34*

I love this two person game. But the app doesn’t follow the printed rules for a tie. Whoever cooks the most mushrooms in total - breaks the tie and wins. Please update the app to reflect this.

### 5/5 — Best board game for 2!

*2026-02-24, version 1.41*

Very strategic competitive game. My husband and I play it daily - it’s our favorite. The app is nice for playing the AI, but the physical version is great for couple’s.

### 5/5 — Awesome pass and play game

*2025-04-13, version 1.41*

My favorite to play against a friend pass and play.  The computer is okay too

### 5/5 — Entertainment and education in one

*2024-12-19*

I’ve been playing this since testing the beta version, along with the physical card game, as well. For as straightforward as it is, a satisfying level of strategy is involved to make for a truly fun experience that can be enjoyed by young and old alike.

### 5/5 — Great game, more players please

*2024-12-02, version 1.41*

I love this game, but could you all give it away for free for a short period of time so there are more users in the mix.

### 5/5 — A great game, a great implementation and a fantastic customer support!

*2024-01-23, version 1.41*

I had been enjoying this game offline for some time when I finally found someone to play online. I went to enable online play which ended up causing an issue that ended up locking me out of using the app at all even after reinstalling it. I emailed the dev and he responded with in a day that he had pushed an update to fix the issue and I was back playing the next day! Thanks so much for a great game!!

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2023-12-20, version 1.40*

Was finally able to connect with my girlfriend on a spiritual level after playing this game either her. Recommended for any lonelies out there

### 5/5 — Morels

*2023-02-03*

I have never reviewed a game.  I tend to lose interest.  However Morels has me captivated.  Games are quick and a blend of mostly strategy and some luck.  It requires thinking, but is relaxing. I love it!

### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel.

*2023-01-21*

Läuft leider nur mit schwarzen Trauerrändern links und rechts auf nem iPad mini. Schade.

### 5/5 — Fun but Foray doesn’t work

*2022-09-12, version 1.34*

I paid for Foray but when I play it is still just the basic game.

### 5/5 — This is a winner!

*2022-08-29, version 1.34*

Very relaxing and fun, was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for a reasonably priced game without micro transactions.
