Why are Toad Stools so rare and hard to find?
I have a hard time finding toad stools can only seem to run across one at a time in some random location very rarely. Are there any good spots to find three or more at a time? What irks me a little is toad stools are also the bait needed for Boar traps which makes trapping Boar pretty much useless.

What really bothers me that with the inventory mess you can eat the toadstool by mistake. The effect shouldn't take long to show up.

Then you can also drink sea salt water, it has unpleasant consequences too.

I'd rather not do it, but in a rush you still can miss click at times.

The king of miss clicks, the Lone Rock harpy fight, throw your last copper spear far away instead of block, then keep seeking for it in the ocean waves.

My answer is: because buffalo potion is so overpowered, I've been searching for required mushrooms quite a long time. After some time you get used to it, they have some pattern still.

Another mushroom problem. The mushroom soup instanly grants HP instead of over time healing. Only living water can do that. The mushrooms are the real deal in this game.

Would someone please give me a tip in what region to find the mushroom soup recipe? I scoured Bird, Buffalo and Puma. Unless I am totally blind.

I remember finding a hidden recipe in the cave with the Puma Boss on Windy Island. It was a small tunnel right around that room where the Puma is. I don't remember which recipe it is, fish soup or mushroom soup sorry.

https://imgur.com/Y4h29fk is an island of hope map for a handful of toadstools and deathcap mushrooms. There are a lot more in later regions and likely more on Hope but I haven't felt the need to search and map out more.

Perhaps you need to find 2 types of mushrooms (puffball (in the caves) and a green mushroom on the copper island) and an earthen fruit, then a recipe will open, you can check by clicking on the eye in the crafting menu near the search bar, all crafting recipes will open. If you need to find a recipe, it will be indicated in the recipe, or you did not find all the ingredients for the soup.

I have had both mushrooms in my inventory and only dried mushroom for puffballs and roasted ones for the green came up as recipes. This is a game I started after the addition of region 4.

It's on Windy island in the cave. The exact location is in the room where you fight two jackals and has the glowing blue dais. If you're looking at that, look to your right and next to the burning torch should be a crawlspace with the recipe. https://imgur.com/mLg6i7c https://i.imgur.com/mLg6i7c.jpeg for some images

Have you collected earth fruits on the copper or red island? He is collecting with a shovel.
These recipes have been in the game for a long time.

Thank you Kate4ka, I have not but will do so. In my previous game (pre region 4) all one had to collect were the puffballs and Tricholoma mushrooms (green ones) and you received as far as I remember the recipe.
