Overview

In the late evening and the wee hours of the Egyptian morning, mushroom spawns will pop up in many locations, during which time they are free for the taking. These spawns will vanish a few in-game hours after appearing.

There are over two dozen varieties of mushroom. All are useful in Cooking, and some have other uses beyond eating. Found growing in the wild between 2:00 am and 6:00 am game time. Note this does not mean that anywhere between 2-6 that you will see it. Most have a specific time they appear. So if you stand at a known spawn point at 2am, they likely will not be there. If a known spawn times is 3:44am then thats when you see them appear.

All mushrooms are mildly poisonous, but cooking removes the toxins. The Test of the Darkest Night allows Egyptians to train their bodies to safely eat raw mushrooms, building their Constitution in the process.

They are also used in Botanical Identification tuition costs.

Update

New mushrooms were announced by Wahim in the story line: "Furthermore, mushrooms unknown in one age can appear in another - witness the recent discovery of Nile Fire, Falcon Bait, and other mushrooms that grow during the daytime - no mention of these is made in our history books!"

Links

A player run resource called the Shroomdar can be found at http://shroomdar.dorzure.com/


I love Shroomdar but they only provide coordinates and its up to you to figure out what region they are located. I have written a page that lets you punch in x,y coordinates and it will tell you what region it is located. This will help you plan your mushroom gathering trip accordingly. Region Finder is at http://sharpnetwork.net/atitd
