Discovery for Farming?

[PhotriusPyrelus]

Does discovery increase the quantity found when gathering things like mushrooms and smouldering butterflies? Because farming this (and other) stuff for fire (and other) pots is SO tedious.

If not, is there *anything* that can make it not such a bother?

No.

You only get 1 of the materials, per node.

Discovery only effects items that are dropped from kills.

/edit

Fextralife usually has optimal gathering routes,
described for about whatever material you're trying to get.

Well that's not true at all. I routinely get 2, and sometimes even 3 from a single node. I was hoping Discovery would increase the odds on getting 2s and 3s. But I guess not. What a bother...
