From BoardGameGeek
In Caps & Stems: Mushrooms of the World, players compete to earn the most Reputation points by playing cards to add mushrooms on the map. Caps & Stems: Mushrooms of the World has nearly 150 different mushroom species in the base game based on the traits of real mushrooms. Players play cards representing a variety of fungi, stacking them according to similar traits, to score points and gain spores. Spend spores to acquire the traits you need to assemble your mushroom (delicious, poisonous, smelly, ringed, pored, etc.) then grow them onto a shared map - scoring points based on the traits of neighboring mushrooms. Earn expertise in a particular trait to unlock special powers and collect secret bonus cards give additional points. -description from the designer
