Mushroom Growing Idea

Okay so my idea kinda is like this to grow shrooms.

I was thinking that there could be spore clouds that you could run and jump through to collect them.. maybe with a jar kinda like firefly whistling.. maybe with a net and placed in a special tool bag. Either ways , you could then grow them on say rotting logs or i was thinking that when an egg plant has empty branches you could spread the shroom spore to make that branch convert over into a shroom branch that would only last until the mushshroom was harvested. Along with, if you kept emptying the eggs from the branches until all branches had been converted over into a mushroom then the whole plant would become a Mushroom Bush.

Also, since the egg plant gives away my intended area's .. caves .. underground .. swamp basements i was thinking maybe add a new shroom that had qualities of other known drugs.

Of course you can also tell i dont mind my idea being a jumping board for other ideas.. i have read the one one about getting it from bat guano dont know if there were other ones.. so sorry in advance if this has been said before.

Cheers !

Edit: forget to mention that the idea for converting the egg plants comes basically the mushrooms are a living fungi... most likely aggressive :D

  • the orginal idea was for normal mushrooms that we already use in cooking .. a side idea was to add new shrooms for other purposes but my main idea was just a way to get cooking shrooms being able to be grown.

  • do they need to be drug mushrooms?

    i have often thought that it would be nice to harvest mushrooms, especially since they are a) already in the landscape, and b) already included in recipes.

    it would require some kind of skill, of course.

    i pothunt mushrooms in real life and it would be fun to pick up ingame mushrooms.

    looks like food to me. or poison.

    you have to know which is which.

  • I like the idea of spores you have to catch... and would love if it could be in jars. I wish jars were multipurpose and not JUST for fireflies, so this would be great.

  • I like the idea of spore and then growing the mushrooms in dark areas. I too think it would be great to be able to harvest mushrooms.

  • Yep. That's one of the very issues I don't like about the game. So many critical components need to be bought from the vendors, mushrooms included. I'm sure they have plans in the works, but it gets annoying when I can't grow or harvest my own in quantity.

  • I love the idea of mushroom growing/harvesting. +1

  • +1! I Love the idea for growing dung mushrooms! (All the more reason to collect piggy plop!)

    Muahahahaha.

  • @flask... funny about the debate regarding drug shrooms... the 'shrooms' already in the landscape happen to be pretty identifiable as Fly Agaric toadstools... not your typical 'drug' shrooms (not psilocybin/psilocin containing) but they do pack quite a psychedelic punch. Also, there is conjecture that their effects and the circumstances in which they grow and are consumed are the primary influces for the Christmas traditions of flying reindeer and putting presents under the tree :)

  • I like the idea of different kinds of shrooms, but why not go ahead and make it like Bubble Tuning or Fruit Changing--you can only harvest one kind, but then there's an applicable skill needed to make it into something else. It could even simply be Fruit Changing II.

  • Good idea Arii! +1 for shroom tuning maybe shroom shenanigans - and you wouldn't know what type you were going to get?

  • @squorble... it wasn't really a debate.

    i wouldn't be interested in  drug shrooms, but i AM interested in food shrooms, and since we have recipes that contain them anyway...

    as to the ones in-game being readily identifiable as fly agaric, did you take spore prints? and i was pretty sure that i saw some things that looked like ink caps, but i'm not counting on any species here to be any specific species you know, out here.

    it would just be fun to be able to grow and/or harvest the mushrooms we use.

    plus, i like mushrooms.

    ..which reminds me.... i gotta go harvest if i'm going to make wild mushroom quiches.

  • @Audaria -- "Shenanigans" isn't really the same kind of word as "Tuning" or "Changing". How about "Setting", "Shifting", or "Switching"? Or "Correcting"? or "Adjusting"? XDD The other ones don't alliterate, so this one doesn't need to either.

  • That's why I like the idea of an unknown output. I understand the grammar of shenanigans, btw. That's why I placed it after shrooms. Grammar rules aren't always strictly followed in Glitch anyway, from what I've seen so far. And as far as the alliteration, I just like it!

  • Everyone knows that when you eat mushrooms you grow larger.

  • And one pill makes you small....but the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all

    Go ask Alice, when she's 10 feet tall....

  • and you've just had some kind of mushroom
    and your mind is moving slow…

  • Love that song, obviously! Does anyone else find it troubling that there is a fish draped on the bass in that video?

  • lol well does Alice also grow and shrink with "this" and "that" side of the shroom

  • When I initially read this, I was shaking my head, but then see I saw Karma's response about cooking MUshrooms.

    I have no clue what is going on in society right now by calling cooking mushrooms "shrooms", but its about to drive me nuts, rofl.  Arby's has a "Shroom Burger" that gets me shaking my head every time I drive by.  Surely, surely their marketing team knows that Shrooms are not mushrooms you should eat in abundance on a burger..........right?

    Anyway, +1 for the ability of Cave homes to grow cooking mushrooms.
    -1 for Shrooms, though. We already have purple and no no. Not sure the game needs more drugs.

  • I dunno, shrooms of the non-food variety could serve a purpose, some sort of animistic/shamanic use after achieving a certain level of Meditative Arts... something of that nature could go hand in hand with Animal Husbandry, Piety (a quest requiring one to ingest them and speak directly to a giant), Gardening V, etc.

  • I just thought of Magic Mushrooms.
    Hallucinogen that is similar o purple yet completely different.
