Guides/Mushroom Guide

So you have plenty of mushrooms and don't know what to do with them?

Here's what to do...

Mushrooms are especially good for Sanity management, in which you can use them to farm Nightmare Fuel. In this case the best mushroom it's gonna be the Green Mushroom. The Blue Mushroom can be used too, but he can be used to fulfill your life and it's harder to farm.

Additionally you can use them in the Crock Pot. The Red Mushroom is the best suitable because he don't have others uses, but it's an occasional use because farming them would be a waste of time...

Also mushrooms aren't good for farming because they spoil very fast, so the best way to use them is to have some near your base to collect now and them, or mark their places in the map with Signs.

Usage
All mushrooms are considered Vegetables, they have a value of 0.5 so they can be used for Crock Pot recipes as a complement or fueller.

Tips and Hints

 * You can mark locations of Mushrooms by using Sign, Backpack, Tree, Sapling, Grass, etc. according to their type. This way you can easily find them to your Map.
 * Picking a mushroom grants you one cap of that color mushroom and this mushroom will respawn. Digging a mushroom will get you 2 caps, but the mushrooms will not respawn.
 * Eating one uncooked Blue Mushroom gives you -15 Sanity and +20 Health. Eating a cooked Green Mushroom (aka Cooked Green Cap) gives you +15 Sanity and -1 Health. If you have stacks of these, quick passage through Obelisks will be a problem NO more.
