Poisonous Mushrooms

[Doominater]

Are there any reason to intentionally collect poisonous mushrooms or am I good just disregarding them for xp whilst foraging?

[The early worm deserves the bird]

There are a couple of different kinds of mushrooms in the game and only one of them are poisoned (Last I checked, they could have changed it) same with berries. The sprite for the mushroom will always be the same but the game randomly assigns which sprite is poisoned so you never know unless you pick the herbalist trait or read the herbalist book. If you don't know what you are eating you're playing Russian Roulette. Do so only if you REALLY need to do it. Keep the mushrooms and berries from foraging and freeze them. Once you read the book it should tell you which ones are poisonous and you can throw those out and keep the rest. You can eat the good ones raw or add them to recipes.

SP? just discard for XP.

MP Server that's not collaborative - if you want to sabotage someone, make some poisoned meals and give them out.

To compost, that's it

I've read some time ago you can eat a quarter of a poisonous shroom to warm up when cold.
I didn't get to test it yet during gameplay, though.

Several mods allow you to make yeast from mushrooms, poisoned or not.

If you have an abundance of supplies, you can still use poisoned and spoiled stuff to cook with.

You can also use it to make fertilizer and gain worms:)

Anyone confirm reading the herbalist magazine actually will tell you which are poisonous? I have read it, and have some mushrooms. It doesn't say poisonous. But still worried to just go for it. Lol

It does, if you've read the magazine it'll say it's a poisonous mushroom and show a little green poison icon on the item.

There´s more than one kind of deadly shrooms out there, found one that made me sick, ate a different one and died, so at least 2.

There seems to be a magic mushroom kind of thingie, it makes you sick while also giving happiness. Someone posted about it, and at one time i also found one.
I have only Pillows Random Spawns, so i doubt it is a modded one, but who knows.

Well I just found a 3rd shroom that makes you sick and at least 2 kill me, so either without the herbalist you can´t recognize the same type anymore, or there are just a lot more dangerous ones

You don't have to eat the whole 'shroom to know if it's poisonous.
You can also add it as ingredient to i.e. a salad with other non-poisonous ingredients and eat a quarter of it.
Like this even characters with weak stomachs can find out if an ingredient is poisonous and not die.

Each type of mushroom should have it's own icon, though.
Otherwise it would be pointless to try and find out which are bad for you.
