Details
When you begin the test, you will be given an initial list of 5 randomly selected mushroom types to find and ingest fresh from the earth (you cannot use mushrooms already picked). You will have a new option when clicking on the mushroom, if that type of mushroom is on your current list.
Once you have eaten 7 each of ALL FIVE types on the list, you can turn it in to any UBody and receive a new list.
Scoring
For each completed list that you turn into the University, you will receive one permanent Constitution point.
< turned in my first list and got TWO Constitution points <2009-04-23 Till>>
Passing
You pass the test upon reaching 7 permanent Constitution (after turning in your last list to the University).
Tips
- If you find mushrooms around low buildings like fountains, remember that Utility->Make nearby portables look like bags can come in handy.
- It's safe to have Auto-take piles of up to 50 portable items enabled with this test, you don't have to disable it to get the menu. However, leaving it enabled will mean that you still auto gather any mushrooms not on your list. If your ID skills are not that great, it may be good to turn off the option, so that you do not accidentally gather mushrooms that someone else may need.
