Mushrooms
Overview
In the late evening and the wee hours of the Egyptian morning, mushroom spawns will pop up in many locations, during which time they are free for the taking. These spawns will vanish a few in-game hours after appearing.
There are over two dozen varieties of mushroom. All are useful in Cooking, and some have other uses beyond eating. Found growing in the wild between 2:00 am and 6:00 am game time.
All mushrooms are mildly poisonous, but cooking removes the toxins. The Test of the Darkest Night allows Egyptians to train their bodies to safely eat raw mushrooms, building their Constitution in the process.
Update
New mushrooms were announced by Wahim in the story line: "Furthermore, mushrooms unknown in one age can appear in another - witness the recent discovery of Nile Fire, Falcon Bait, and other mushrooms that grow during the daytime - no mention of these is made in our history books!"
