Brown Mushroom

A Brown Mushroom is picked by hand, 2 or 3 at a time, from mushroom patches around your house, the garden and Riverside. Eaten raw it gives 4 energy, but 5 of them bake into 3 Baked mushrooms worth 27 energy each, so they are better kept for the Kitchen Oven.

A picked patch grows back after about 75 minutes of real time (ten in-game days). The demo areas have only 5 patches that grow back, so there are never many.

Notes

  • The first mushrooms of the game are special. In the dungeon at the very start you eat quest mushrooms to get the energy to break open a sarcophagus. Those are 3-star Brown Mushrooms worth 25 energy each; they cannot be thrown away and their patch does not grow back.
  • The Master Forager perk adds 1–2 mushrooms per pick.
  • Studying one costs 3 Science and gives 30 green.
