'''Mushrooms''' (colloquially, '''shrooms''') are a special category of item that can be considered halfway between [[food]] and [[meds]].
Mushrooms, like food, have nutritional values; all mushrooms provide tiny, seemingly negligible amounts of nutrition, a fact that is offset by their extremely light low weight; all mushrooms have a '''weight''' of '''0.01'''.
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).
* '''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).
