Is Mushroom Magic a replacement for onX Hunt?

No, and it isn’t trying to be. onX Hunt owns the topo map and the nationwide GPS property-line job. Mushroom Magic is a focused, hourly signal layer for morel hunters who already run onX as their base map.

How often does Mushroom Magic update?

Hourly. Soil, temp, and closure feeds are fused every hour and the “go now” push fires the moment the score crosses your threshold — and re-fires when a USFS closure reroutes you.

Does Mushroom Magic show fire perimeters too?

It overlays them but scores burn age for morels — how old the scar is, what the soil-temp + RH have been doing since. onX Hunt shows the perimeter; Mushroom Magic tells you whether to walk into it.

Mushroom Magic vs onX Hunt

Two tools. One owns the topo map. The other owns the morel signal.

Q: When should I stick with onX Hunt?

If you hunt deer, elk, turkey, or anything beyond morels, if you need per-state offline topographic map packs, or if nationwide GPS property lines and landowner boundaries across hundreds of millions of parcels are the main thing you’re after — onX Hunt is the right tool for that.

Both products are real, and they solve different problems. onX Hunt owns the nationwide GPS topo map with property lines across hundreds of millions of parcels; Mushroom Magic owns the hourly, morel-specialized signal — soil + temp + closures fused, rerouted the moment a USFS gate changes. Pick the one that matches the job.

Honest framing

When to choose which.

Pick Mushroom Magic

You're a morel hunter who moves on the hourly read.

If your season hinges on a single push that says “go now or don’t”tonight, and the moment a USFS gate closes a burn area you need to be rerouted to the next one — that's the hourly, morel-specialized signal Mushroom Magic was built to deliver.

Pick onX Hunt

You run the topo map every trip and need the base layer.

If you hunt deer, elk, turkey, or anything beyond morels, want per-state offline topographic map packs, and need nationwide GPS property lines and landowner boundaries across hundreds of millions of parcels — onX Hunt is the tool that already covers that job end-to-end.
