Like certain meds, the majority of mushrooms require '''[[identification]]''' before their name and effects can be revealed. An unidentified mushroom can only be described by its '''appearance''' (see below).
Mushrooms belong to one of three categories; '''normal ''' mushrooms (which are distinguished by mundane effects such as '''Venom''', which simulates poisonous mushrooms, or '''Hallucinations'''), '''magic ''' mushrooms, and '''unique ''' mushrooms (detailed further below). All mushrooms are usually generated in groups or clusters, the size of which depends on the category the mushroom belongs to.* '''Normal''' mushrooms are found in 1d10 clusters.* '''Magic''' mushrooms are found in 1d3 clusters.* '''Unique''' mushrooms are found in 1d5 clusters. Unusually for an item in the Mazes, mushrooms cannot be purchased or sold at any shop, and therefore have no monetary value. Mushrooms can only be found, typically in the UA and most frequently in rooms with high levels of decay (with the "forsaken" or "overgrown" descriptor).
=== Magic mushrooms ===
Although magic mushrooms can have both positive and negative effects, those with positive effects may be highly sought after, as their extremely low weight makes carrying them very convenient. However, great care must be taken when consuming them; all magic mushrooms are '''[[Addictions#Sick Hakutaku syndrome|addictive]]'''. Characters that have developed an addiction to magic mushrooms are said to be afflicted with '''sick hakutaku syndrome'''.
=== Unique mushrooms ===
A small amount of mushrooms are classified as "unique"; these mushrooms have a unique, unmistakable appearance, and therefore do not require to be identified.
