Life Elixir not worth it, buff please

[NouH]

Here's how it is.

Life Elixir uses 4 types of mushroom to make, alright, but it uses ''Uncommon and Rare'' Mushrooms, those are kinda hard to find, those would be the Purple Mushroom, Chanterelle(Usually you get 1 of these per Mushroom cave harvest), Red Mushroom and then the Morel, which in my opinion is also hard to find.

So here's the thing.
Life Elixir = 200 Energy, 80 HP Restored.

3 Mushrooms = Purple Mushroom + Chanterelle + Common Mushroom = 238 Energy, 95 HP
Silver Quality = 333 Energy, 133 HP
Gold Quality = 431 Energy, 171 HP

You may be asking, WHY INCLUDE THE COMMON MUSHROOM, well that's because these are the EASIEST MUSHROOM TO FIND, you get 5+ of these per mushroom cave harvest, MUCH more common than the Morel, which is hard to find and gives a pathetic amount of energy/hp.

So, in the end, is it really worth it?

. I have foraging at max so purple mushrooms are already almost topping me out.

Your math states that no, they're not worth it - but on the other hand, the item takes up one slot instead of four. And it's always preferable to use your low-quality items first when crafting anyway. And Life Elixirs are a guarrantee since you can take them in like food. They're even listed under Cooking but you can mix them without a cooker.
