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. Light poisons will trouble your character for a few days. Poison effects can range from slight nausea, to hallucinations, to death.

Most of the time these poisons will be neutralised after blanching them, using a pot and some water with the "Boil / Herbal beverages" Cookery option. The boiled mushroom thus obtained can be used as mushroom ingredient in further cooking recipes, such as mushroom soup. Therefore, it is always a good idea to blanch mushrooms before eating, unless you have prior experience. Directly cooking mushroom soup using raw mushrooms does not count as blanching and does not remove poisons.

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.
