>game has mushrooms>they're invariably bad and poisonous or some kind of monster>never get to see any positive mushroom representationwhy is this, /v/?
>>740341404TES had many great mushrooms for alchemy.
bro never heard of mario
>>740341404To stop dumbass kids and retarded adults from walking into the woods and eating the first mushroom they find.
>>740341404Let It Dies entire meta is using the power of the mushroom. Literally impossible to beat the game without using them
>>740341404there's literally nothing good about mushrooms
Bro never heard of skyrim
>>740341404have you heard of a game called SUPER MARIO BROS
>>740341404In Outward, green cave mushrooms can be cooked into some good recipes -- cook 4 together for a few Dry Mushroom Bar, which heals a little burnt health (hard to do early game). Blood Mushrooms are used in alchemy to create health potions, and Nightmare Mushrooms do...something, idk, I avoid corrupted zones until late game.
gothic was full of tasty and useful mushrooms and picking them was very comfyit's time to get comfy, goyim
>>740343795>mushroom causes Mr. Mario Bros to go on a coma for the entire gameanon, i...
>>740341404chrono cross has funguy, a PChollow knight has mr. mushroom, a benign NPCslay the spire has a mushroom relic that is beneficial
>>740342983you don't have tastebuds?
>>740342983>he never tried Amanita rubescensSad.
>>740341404someone post the greentext
>>740341404Easy. Because Nintendo would sue them into oblivion.
Souls games usually have positive mushrooms
>>740341404Because you're playing wrong games
>>740341404Rate my last year's haul
What does /v/ think of magic mushrooms?
>>740351604That mushroom has a huge stratched out vagina
>>740352313based lactarius enjoyer
>>740341404Symphony of the Night's mushrooms were health items like Shiitake(a famous edible.)Otherwise, if you don't like the negative reputation, OP, quit promoting shroom usage and stick to the foodstuffs.
>>740341404Play more than 5 games in your life.
>>740341404>>740352313I found some pale oyster mushrooms today.
>>740341404plenty games have edible mushrooms
>>740341404Anons, would you play a mushroom foraging game?
Feels good to stumble upon some when you least expect it
I mostly pick chanterelles
>>740349874>brooo eat poisoon its so crazzzzyyyDie
>>740341404Shut up En you're dead
Probably the most universal power-up is a mushroom??????
>>740356460>retard can't research or understand what he readMany such cases.
>>740357209it's literally just mario
Mushrooms in Mewgenics are some very good items, specially the ones that inflict charm, inflict weak or give you all stats up for each use
i took 8 grams of psilocybin mushrooms and had an ego death and cried uncontrollably because i realized we're all one consciousness.
>>740341404*kills u*heh nothing personnel kid
>>740341404I can't think of that many games with strictly detrimental mushrooms, what are you talking about
yep it's kino
>>740341404I like mushrooms. I bought some big portobellos to use instead of burgersnot badI'd like to try the fun kinds of shrooms but my state is lame and I'd need to travel
>>740341404
>>740353802yeah but they're usually just "mushroom" and give +5 hpwhere's the game with chanterelle vs jack-o-lantern identification mechanics and a 40 minute diarrhea debuff if you fuck up
>>740352513She's ready to settle down.
>>740341404wrong
>>740356460you half-remember the name of fly aminata and are conflating all mushrooms of genus aminata with that
>>740362715still negative because making a bigass mushroom farm is unviable and the stew is unstackable thereby preventing me from roleplaying being corrupted by the fungus and planting mycelium until my non-infinite world is nothing but a spore infestation
Mushrooms don't taste like I expected them to be
Shroom grills best grills
>>740353928do those really taste as good as people say
>>740341404Yotsuba?
>>740341404>>never get to see any positive mushroom representationWAHOOOOOOO
bro you retarded?
>>740342657that's about right much rather most people associate mushrooms with poison and don't get themselves killed
>>740341404In the same way every JRPG has an evil church because it subverts the ubiquitous but singular good church from Dragon Quest, mushrooms get slander because it's innately subversive due to Mario.
>>740341404Dragons Dogma had a bunch of different mushrooms and they were used to restore stamina while being light enough to carry a bunch of them around.
>>740366256
>>740363292Most likely worse: he outsources his ability to look for things and think about things to a mindless machine that has layers of safety wheels built on top of the cleverly laid out word salad it is filled with. And the machine tells him that "dis mushroom be bad n sheeeit" in 15 paragraphs with bullet points. And he just listens and believes because he has traded the distinguishing ability of a human being for convenience. More and more such cases, soon to be overwhelming majority.
>>740366406Wizardry also has a good church. It is actually really weird that good churches are so hard to find. I enjoy killing god as much as the next person but when you've got a dozen anime series every year where the church is a benevolent organization that trains and dispatches healers and zero video games where this is the case it's weird.
>>740366742>all the good mushrooms get eaten except the ones that look like the bad mushrooms>the remaining mushrooms breed>now all the good mushrooms look like the bad mushroomsEvolution is fun.
>>740368715thats why you're meant to harvest them in a basket and spread the spores of the one you pic, reverse the trend by spreading identifiable shrooms.
Mushrooms have the texture of when you bite the inside of your cheek really hard and it kind of "crunches". The taste ranges from a pretty good earthy umami to "just dirt".
>>740361702just grow them yourself, it's easy enough. unless you're in one of the 2-3 states where you can't buy spores
>>740359948The thumbnail looks like fat asses.
>>740369885This. The only reason people eat mushroom is because they’re too poor to afford meat or are super hipsters who thinks foraging is a cool thing to do and not at all peasant behavior. It’s why all recipes try to make the mushroom taste like anything but mushrooms.
>>740341404it's not like mario isn't the most well-known videogame character of all time or anything
>>740370292Fucking soulless. The best part of mushrooms is gathering them
(((they))) don't want you to obtain the power within the little teachers.
>>740367093To kinda reiterate what I said, it's because DQ is so ubiquitous. Subverting it by having the church is evil never gets old in Japan because of how culturally predominant DQ, which has a good church, is.
>>740372836I don't think it has much to do with DQ, i think it's that Japan is a country absolutely littered with small shinto shrines each with their own god of some hill or forest or something, all decentralized and self-contained, and then comparing that to the gigantic monolithic monotheistic christian churches. Like, yeah to any religion that isn't Christianity, Christianity's going to look pretty evil.
>>740341404for me, it's the humble chantrelle
nobody wants to talk about the secret mycelium layer that surrounds the inside of the planet and is sentient
>>740375408Go to bed Deirdre
>>740342553mario mushrooms are poison
>>740366938AI isn't that dumb, the guy is just trolling
>>740341404Dragon Marked for Death has random food drops, including a mushroom that poisons you. But actually, there's a rare chance that instead of a blight mushroom it's a might mushroom which gives a large heal and a powerful stat buff. The only way to tell them apart is to zoom the camera in to make the item name show up.
>>740341404what are the best games to play on shrooms? I had plenty of fun with Nier Automata
>>740375408Go to bed, Dafyd
>>740368715You realize that most of the actual mushroom is underground, right? The parts you see above ground are just used for distributing spores, and plucking them and moving them around both leaves the underground mycelium intact, but also spreads spores.
>>740377126Is this shit actually fun solo?
>>740368715>>now all the good mushrooms look like the bad mushroomsDifferent species can't really look like each other. Different species can look similar, but evolution doesn't happen overnight.
>>740341404Terraria has entire mushroom biomes which give you easy platform material/building materials as well as always spawning heart crystals in them.
>>740377907Not really. The low level stuff has been nerfed to hell and dies super super fast if you know what weapons are good (pretty much everyone's level 5 weapon carries you for a long time). The late game is still very grindy.If the rpg balance wasn't so bad the game would be fun but as it is it pretty much always feels like things are too easy or too hard.
>>740341404In Citizen Sleeper you'll run into mushrooms in a lot of quests and they're basically necessary in the 'best' ending
>>740341404Fuck are you talking aboutThe literal biggest fucking media franchise on earth, Pokemon, uses mushrooms as sellable loot itemsMost of the mushrooms on neopets heal you and are listed as medicinesIn Minecraft, mushrooms are used as food and for building materials, as well as nether wood and feeding to animals, plus their own unique rare biome with no monsters.In Animal Crossing games, all the mushrooms are edible species and can be used for food in NH or selling in NL, as well as furniture.Fucking Mario as a wholePlants vs Zombies shrooms are your friendsI can think of more positive mushrooms in games than negative
I need more giant mushroom biomes in video games. This is non-negotiable
>>740341404maybe if you stopped playing SHITTY GAMES you'd see some representation
>>740382539Mushroomancer, my beloved.
>>740345882I remember healing from 1 hp to full with this stuff. Good times. The extra max mana is just a cherry on top, and provides an extra incentive to explore every single nook and cranny, top of the line game design.Why are games so hesitant to place bonuses like that in their worlds? You rarely even see food you can actually pick up anymore. It's like those game design classes modern devs take explicitly teach them to avoid adding soul to their games.
>>740341404>never get to see any positive mushroom representationyou're too young to remember
>>740363450I dunno bro, back when I played I'd frequently go through an entire stack of porkchops before finishing with my cave exploring adventures, so I ended up just bringing two stacks of dem shrooms and a bowl. Never ran out of food since.And you farm mushrooms by abusing bonemeal and harvesting giant mushrooms.Hunger mechanics in minecraft are pure cancer though.
>>740341404Reminder that mushrooms can talk to each other via electrical impulseshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjIG0wTVIBohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-nIBA0V_NoThe mushrooms hold ancient wisdom passed between colonies
>>740386581we can too but we've become too gay and docile to make full use of it
>>740341404>redditshroomswhy do people willingly eat something that doesn't taste good and can kill you?
>>740341404Vintage Story has ones you can eat and trip on
