NAME OF FLORA: Rot Cap APPEARANCE: A medium sized cap mushroom that grows in rotting underbrush, the fungus is pale brown in color and often covered in a slimy yellow-ish secretion. ENVIRONMENT: Forest, jungle and swamp. Can be found growing on rotted wood or dying trees, tends to grow in small clusters of about 5-10. HAZARD-LEVEL: Moderate PROPERTIES: The mushroom itself can be harvested and cooked into a savory dish that tastes quite pleasant. If uncooked, it is still edible, though tends to taste of dirt. The slime on the mushroom seems to be like candy for squidges - the little guys love it and their mood is easily improved by letting them lick some. However, if a recruit ingests any, they will find themselves suffering from moderate to powerful audio-visual hallucinations. In this state, recruits are more likely to have a strange experience than a scaring one, but any duress may change the surreal into the terrifying. RARITY: Uncommon
NAME OF FLORA: Torrid Truffles APPEARANCE: Small, rough and black, these truffles may just look like rocks or dirt to the inexperienced recruit. ENVIRONMENT: Grassland HAZARD-LEVEL: Low PROPERTIES: These truffles can be cooked up or eaten raw, and they have a rich flavor. When a squidge or recruit consumes the truffle, they will find themselves feeling very warm. For some this may be a welcome, comfortable sensation, but for others they may feel too hot, as if perpetually outside on a muggy day. The symptoms do not make the individual feel feverish or weak - though there remains one reason for concern. While the effected party feels warm, their bodies are actually functioning at a normal temperature, so journeys into the tundra could result in hypothermia or frostbite if one isn't careful. RARITY: Rare
