Pickled mushrooms, please!

The amount of mushroom/spice/recipe/more spice combinations would dwarf any other pickles right now, unless all pickles made the same pickled mushroom(which would negate the plus above). That number of creations creates a mechanic that can mostly be exploited by people who keep their private cookbooks secret, and is a sinkhole of time and effort for most other players. Turns food into another alchemy grind.

The number of different mushrooms doesn't matter; there's 4 types of onion but all pickled onion gives the same FEP. The source of the spice doesn't matter. Pickled is basically replacing the different mushroom options with another 100% spice.

yep another nail in the coffin for foraging

If the mushroom type doesn't contribute to final FEP's, then foraged mushrooms don't matter, just whatever garden pot mushrooms are the highest q and fastest to grow. If it does matter, then the amount of recipe variations explodes(but foraging becomes more valuable). Either way, it means the playerbase has to do even more RNG recipe research, or it just becomes another chore.

Why did you pretend you don't know mushrooms are gonna be used in foods

It’s just your imagination.

I think it can be left as a single +spice option, giving more Charisma FEPs like with onions.

Forageable mushrooms should perhaps get a buff or an option to quality scale / regrow them
