Red Mushroom

Red Mushrooms are a vegetable food item that restores hunger, but significantly damages your health. They can be used in the Crock Pot as a filler. Like vegetables and berries, they can be fed to Pigs to produce Manure. If left on the ground after being picked, they will turn to rot. Red Mushrooms are one of the three types of mushrooms.

Red Mushrooms can cause Health damage to Gobblers; placing at least 3 Red Mushrooms on the ground near a Gobbler and letting it eat them will result in its death.

Cooked Red Cap
A Cooked Red Cap is the product of cooking a Red Mushroom over a Campfire or Fire Pit. Cooking a Red Mushroom has the advantage of giving the player a very small health boost, but with no hunger restored and a slight sanity loss. They are good items to use in Crock Pot recipes that require vegetables, as they can be safely eaten this way.

Gathering
Red Mushrooms are typically found in Grasslands or Forests and can only be picked during the Day. At Dusk Red Mushrooms sink into the ground and must be dug up with a shovel to retrieve them. Digging produces two Mushrooms, however it also prevents them from respawning in that location. If picked by hand a Mushroom will regrow shortly after it Rains.
