Mushroom

Mushrooms are one of the kinds of edible flora in Unreal World. Though some mushrooms are edible raw, the majority are poisoned in some way, with varying severity. Most of the time these poisons will be neutralised after boiling them. Light poisons will trouble your character for a few days. They can be cooked using a pot and some water to create mushroom soup, and can provide a good food source for players. Poison effects can range from slight nausea, to hallucinations, to death.

Therefore, it is always a good idea to cook mushrooms before eating, unless you have prior experience.

Mushrooms are mildly nutritious (when cooked) and despite the inherent risks in eating them, are a great 'daily' food supply if you do not have a solid source of food, or you are unwilling to chip into your winter larder for whatever reason.
