When one is low on health and hunger but not sanity, they should eat/search for blue mushrooms if no alternatives are available. Stockpiling blue mushrooms is a good medical safety net provided you have a good source of sanity replacement or are comfortable hunting the nightmare monsters.

If one is low on sanity, a cooked greencap is literally a life saver provided you're good on health but not capable of killing nightmare monsters.

I actually play primarily in the caves due to an ample supply of blue and green mushrooms. These two together are keeping me alive into the (day) 300s without any other sources of food/medical supplies.
