Great Mushroom Expansion

[KitsuneG]

An option to see hanging mistletoes on map and the beautiful autumn IRL push my thoughts to the new type of shrooms - arboreal:
1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleurotus_ostreatus - Oyster mushroom - common European edible mushroom.
2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auricularia_auricula-judae -Jew's Ear- rare and delicious mushroom - used in salads and soups.
3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fomes_fomentarius - Tinder Fungus - ancient known medicine for cough and bleeding, present days used to create mushroom spices.
4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laetiporus_sulphureus - Chicken in the Woods - toxic but edible - i think it could be curiosity due it appearance.
5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armillaria_mellea - Honey Fungus -ancient known edible mushroom - i guess could be fun if spawn on mirkwood logs and stumps.
6. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybe_cyanescens - Wavy Caps - European type of Psilocybe - we have opium and hemp bud, new drug could be interesting - maybe it would give lp boost or ability to see some new curious like Opium Dragon?
Would be great addition if spawn of 3, 4 and 5 will damage tree quality by some points - i thought if this fungus quality will be same as tree, each spawn damage about 5% of total q, but never goes below 10q. Sort of decaying mechanic for abandoned tree farms.

Another idea is new type of farming for mushrooms, separated from Garden Pots to a new substrate blocks made from Mulch and Mirkwood? (well noone actually grow shrooms in pot - not sure it is actually possible..) Also if 3(Tinder Fungus) will be a spice it definitly should be fabricated some way, like any other spices in-game.

P.S. And ofcorse we need Mushroom stockpile i beg you. (infinite capacity - nothing more)

Up for that. How about dried amanitas?

I like this idea

More mushrooms, always good! Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hericium_erinaceus - Lion's Mane Mushroom - yum.

if there's one thing this game definitely needs, it's more lp bonuses

Looks like a lot of these grow out of trees, I like the idea of that. And with wild bees and mistletoe the framework is in place for more tree connected foragables.

Lions Mane Mushroom.

There are a lot of interesting types of mushrooms. I was hoping we might get philosophers stones occasionally instead of truffles. Not sure what potential use psilocybin could offer. Increase in learning speed perhaps?

based on my experiences, i'd have to say a big buff to psyche would be the most realistic, maybe along with a big hit to dex. you could also have it as a 100% occuring lore event -

to give a guaranteed bit of XP like the dreams in the beaver dungeons.

big buff to psy

Actually great idea, it is even named PSYlocibine.
