Are these epilogue-only?
I've tried to do things differently in the second playthrough, but I find that a lot of the following I didn't get until the epilogue, both times. Is it just me? (Obviously some spoilers ahead)

Not confirmed:
Carnivorous Torren
Evulum
Haverage
Meakdew?
Pennybell
Spring Waxcap
Sour Bandy?
Storian
Thum
Twilight Lepion
(Some of these are elixir ingredients, but since a lot of recipes don't mention names but only appearance it doesn't help identifying them)

Entrees only gained in epilogue:
Ambrella (poor thing was on my shelf since day 1!)
Bella Nox
Burdum
Demmel
Fool's Midnight (not sure about this one, but able to get on day 2, or 1 even, and I got the entree extremely late for sure)
Poliscus
Prittle

You must be a good person then. I can confirm that Meakdew can be used during the playthrough, if you make choices, which follows up with a potential use of Storian. Isidore Burbidge needs to have a hard time But I was wondering about that too, especially for Bella Nox and Poliscus.

If you are really evil, you get to actually use carnivorous torren in the epilogue. I also definitely remember using sour bandy but it may be for a random customer. There were some different requests coming in on my second playthrough, but I am not sure whether it was just game's RNG or the consequence of my choices.

Hahaha, yeah I still haven't considered making Isidore's life miserable... yet. Maybe on a third playthrough. I put a question mark behind some for that reason.

Sour bandy is used by one of the main characters for sure, not random request.

Yes, I remember that one of the women wanted it - but I don't remember which one. I think it was either Faye or one of the Greenes, but my memory is fuzzy in that regard.

Yeah, I think it was Faye, but I'm also not sure.

I think you can verify some of the other plants as an antidote, if you 'misidentify' the mushrooms someone ate. (The customer is the wife of the stubborn mushroom collector who insisted that the weird shrooms he brought home were 'fine'.)
It is pretty easy at that point to identify the shrooms he ate becauise everything else that looks remotely similar should be identified already at that point. So I don't think many people would pick the wrong plants to use for medicine.

But you can't identify plants by providing wrong ones. They would not be accepted and would not get identification (even though technically you would know what they are).

@Senlin: I think the mushroom antidote might be an exception - as I said I didn't test it.
You'd provide the right antidote but for the wrong poison. So it might be that the customer would accept all antidote options and you'd get them identified correctly (but the outcome would still be tragic).

Yeah true, some are used in potions, or are antidotes, but I'm not just talking about "I know which plant this technically is", I'm talking about actually being able to confirm it or getting the entrees. For example, you get to confirm Thum for yourself by using it as an ingredient, for a recipe that actually mentions its (nick)name, but it doesn't give you a pop-up that you identified this plant as the Thum.
Now I think I got to use Sour Bandy in my first playthrough, but the list I gave was of my second one.
Senlin Jan 27, 2022 @ 11:20pm 
Actually creating proper elixirs does identify the plants used for them. They also get auto-labelled if you have that option enabled. So for example Thum got idenfied for me that way. But this happens after the game story end anyway.
IsaWP Jan 30, 2022 @ 7:13pm 
It does? Even with the ones that are just drawings of the flowers? How would that identify them? Especially without auto-label?
Senlin Jan 31, 2022 @ 12:44am 
Hmm, I'm not actually sure now about that one (it's just one, right?) with the pictures without names. But the others did identify them for me for sure.
Psyringe Jan 31, 2022 @ 4:39am 
I vaguely remember brewing one elixir and getting the plants auto-identified, and then brewing another elixir and bein surprised that there was no auto-identification in that case. Now, I could absolutely misremember that, or perhaps I made a mistake when looking at the plants after brewing. But if some people are sure that they've observed auto-identification, and others are sure that they've observed a lack of it, then it might perhaps really depends on the elixir.
