Mushrooms are a fresh food that comes in several wild varieties and a shop bought button mushroom. They are filling for their weight and fit into a long list of dishes. They spoil within days, so they suit a cook who uses them quickly.

Wild mushrooms carry a real risk. Any foraged mushroom can be poisonous, and the poison is hard to spot. Only certain traits or a survival magazine reveal which ones are safe.

Wild mushrooms come from foraging. Button mushrooms are sold on grocery stands in shops. The Farmer is the best occupation for fruits and vegetables. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.

Eating

Most wild mushrooms lower hunger by 13 and thirst by 1, with about 30 calories. Two of the wild varieties are a little more filling, lowering hunger by 15 with 32 calories. A button mushroom lowers hunger by only 7, with 15 calories. All of them hold very little protein, fat or carbohydrate.

That makes mushrooms a poor way to keep body weight up. Their strength is how much hunger they ease for a light 0.2 weight. Mushrooms taste better hot, so a cooked mushroom gives a small mood lift when eaten soon after cooking.

Against other vegetables, wild mushrooms are fairly filling. Carrots lower hunger by 8 and an Onion by 10. A Potato is more filling at 18.

The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking

Mushrooms cook in 10 minutes and burn after 30. Cooking them alone is quick, but the better use is adding them to a dish.

Wild mushrooms add 13 or 15 hunger to a Pizza, a Burger, a Hot Dog, an Omelette, Stir Fry, Stew, a Pie, Soup, a Sandwich, a Salad, Rice or Pasta. They also add 5 or 6 hunger to a hot drink. Button mushrooms add 13 to a Stew and 7 to most other dishes. In a Burger, a Sandwich or a Salad they add 4.

Each wild variety counts as a separate ingredient in a dish. A poisonous mushroom makes the whole dish poisonous, even if the cook cannot tell. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further.

These dishes take Mushrooms as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Storage

Mushrooms stay fresh for 3 days and are fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. That is a very short shelf life, so mushrooms should be eaten or cooked into a dish quickly.

Locations

Wild mushrooms are found by foraging. A character with no foraging skill can still find them. Low skill foragers are more likely to pick poisonous ones. Every foraged variety stacks under the same name.

Shop mushrooms are a common find on grocery stands. Grocery stands at Gigamart, grocery stores and outdoor supply stores hold them about half the time.

The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container.

Location Container Chance
Gigamart Grocery stand 53.3%
Grocery store Grocery stand 53.3%
Outdoor supply store Grocery stand 53.3%

Notes

  • Any foraged mushroom can be poisonous, and the poison spreads to any dish it goes into.
  • The Herbalist and Bushcrafter traits reveal poisonous mushrooms.
  • Reading Magazine: Wilderness Survival also reveals them.
  • Eating a quarter of an untested mushroom and waiting a day is a safer way to test a variety.
  • Mushrooms rot within four days, so they should be used fast.
