Tattis — the mushroom forecast that shows the right forest and the right moment.
Weather, terrain and mushroom observations together show where edible mushrooms are growing right now. Start free — download the app.
Mushrooming only goes wrong if you go to the wrong forest.
Chanterelles don't grow on dry heath, and porcini don't thrive in bogs. The right forest type, the right soil and the right moment make all the difference — and that's exactly the equation Tattis solves for you. Tattis combines habitat data, mushroom observations, machine learning and weather into a single forecast — for each species individually.
Habitat data
The foundation comes from three sources: forest inventory data from the Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke), soil maps, and the National Land Survey's elevation model — from which we derive slope, moisture conditions and proximity to water. Together they describe what kind of habitat exists at every spot.
Mushroom observations
From laji.fi we pull verified mushroom observations — hundreds of thousands of data points across Finland. These reveal where each species has actually been found.
Machine learning model
Each species gets its own model that learns to link observation sites to the surrounding habitat. The model answers a single question: "What kind of terrain does this mushroom like?" The result is a heatmap covering all of Finland.
Daily weather correction
Habitat alone isn't enough — a mushroom also needs the right weather. Every day we use the Finnish Meteorological Institute's data to calculate, for each species, whether temperature and rainfall are favourable. Habitat suitability is multiplied by weather conditions, so the map only highlights areas where both terrain and weather are right.

Frequently asked
How does the map calculate probabilities?
Tattis's heatmap combines three factors: a habitat model for the species, daily weather conditions, and the time of year.
- Habitat (stable): each species has its own model trained to predict the suitability of a location. The model uses forest type, tree cover, soil, elevation and vegetation indices, plus thousands of observations from laji.fi.
- Weather (updated daily): from the Finnish Meteorological Institute's open data, we calculate for each species whether the past few weeks of rain, temperature and night frosts support fruiting body growth right now.
- Season: every species has its own growing season. Outside that window, the forecast drops to zero.
The product of these three factors sets the map colour: pale yellow means low probability, deep red means high probability.
Can I rely on the app's forecasts completely?
Tattis tells you where and when mushrooms are most likely to appear, but it doesn't guarantee it.
- The forecast is statistical. Weather stations are sparsely distributed, forest inventory updates with a lag, and local conditions vary with tree cover, slope and microclimate.
- The map guides — it doesn't find. Red and orange shades mean an area is potentially suitable in the current conditions — not that there are mushrooms there right now.
- Always identify each mushroom yourself. Edible species have toxic look-alikes. If you're not absolutely sure, leave the mushroom in the forest.
Use Tattis as a tool for trip planning and choosing where to go. Trust your eyes, your hands and your field guide when you actually pick. When in doubt, ask experienced foragers — for example the Finnish Mycological Society's Facebook group.

How do I cancel my subscription?
There's nothing to cancel — all Tattis Pro purchases are one-time passes, not recurring subscriptions.
- Month (one-month pass): expires automatically after a month. The app does not charge you again on its own.
- Year (season pass): expires automatically after a year. The app does not charge you again on its own.
- Lifetime: a one-time purchase that doesn't expire.
When the period ends, the app reverts to the free version automatically. Your observations and notes are kept. If you need a refund, contact the app store's customer support per Apple's or Google's terms.
How is Tattis different from other apps?
Many probability-based apps use a similar static approach (forest data + habitat requirements), but Tattis adds a dynamic weather layer and phenology — meaning it predicts when mushrooms appear, not just where. So there's no point heading out for chanterelles back in May.
