Walkthrough[edit]

The collection icon above the mushrooms appears very late. Zoom in a little and walk through the event area and take a closer look at all the event mushrooms before touching them. The poisonous mushrooms should not be touched.

There are 4 types of mushrooms:

  • Dark purple — When interacted with, the player receives Bad Trip.png Hallucination for 30 seconds. This can be cured using the Water Bucket.
  • Brown with greenish vapor animation — When interacted with, the player receives Poisoned.png Poisoned for 30 seconds. This can be cured using the Water Bucket.
  • Brown with beige bubble animation — Safe to interact with, and can be handed in to Fabled Brook for one point.
  • Shiny yellow — When interacted with, the player receives Golden Mushroom.png Golden Mushroom, and upon handing it in to Fabled Brook receives five points. Completes the Golden Mushroom Guru achievement. Only available once per event.

All types can have more or less large white spots.

The player can collect as many mushrooms as they want before handing them in. The number is displayed in the buff bar. The mushrooms can, after a while, reappear in the same place after they have been collected.

Some mushrooms spawn an enemy fungus instead of being collected.

I need your help gathering edible mushrooms for the village. But make sure to taste test them first! They can be tough to see, and some are a bit... testy. So be careful!
