Tree/Mushtree

"Even the trees down here are weird."

- Wendy Mushtrees are naturally generated objects that act as light sources inside Caves. The most common variety, the Blue Mushtree, can be chopped down, providing 2 Logs and a Blue Cap. Unlike Evergreens, which drop Pine Cones, there is no way for the player regrow mushtrees, making them an unrenewable resource. But because of cave regen, they are renewable. Mushtrees also come in green and red varieties, which drop a Green Cap and Red Cap respectively upon harvest, as well as a single Log.

Trivia

 * Chopping mushtrees is the only way that Mushrooms can be obtained without picking them or digging them up.
 * Mushtrees are regarded as the easiest way to get Blue Caps. However, Mushtrees also provide a small, but free and unending source of light. Illumination frequently means life or death in the caves, so discretion should be used when deciding whether or not to harvest.
 * Burning a mushtree results in Ash, so they cannot be used to create Charcoal.
