Demonstrated by Rabble in Saqqarah on 2009-04-05.

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 at least 2 [T3 info, most likely will be higher in T4] types, you can return to any UBody for a new list. - You can NOT turn in a list once you have eaten 7 of two types - Fryoj

Scoring

For each two sets of mushrooms that you have consumed, you will receive one permanent Constitution point. These pairs may be on different lists.

For example, if you turn in a list with 5 sets complete, you will only receive 2 CON points at that time. If you turn in the next list with 3 sets complete, you will again receive 2 CON points, however, since the fifth set will be added to the count (meaning the university will see two more sets of two complete).

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.
