Mycology

Illustration of some kind

“

Mastery of fungus in all its forms.

Mycology is a skill that is raised by gathering mushrooms. It gives access to a variety of recipes for the creation of Spore Bombs, Potions. Mushrooms are also useful in Cooking and Alchemy recipes.

Mycology is first learned on Anagoge Island by picking mushrooms or piles of dirt off of the ground. The first recipe, Parasol Mushroom Flakes, is learned by studying an Alchemy book Basics of Alchemy. The book may be found in Elmetaph's bookcase in the lighthouse, or on the second level of the Anagoge Records Facility.

Another Mycology recipe is also found in the Anagoge Records Facility, on the first level. On a pedestal in a room containing several mushrooms, rest the Proctor's Journals. If the player chooses to Study the Details they can learn the recipe for Basic Spore Bombs.

Spore Bombs may be used to defeat the training dummy.

Spoiler text.

Recipes can be bought from Mushroom Jack in Serbule town, Voo in the Myconian Cave, Yagreet in Sun Vale (Healing Potion Omega).

Levels 51-60 can be bought from Mox Warcut, in Gazluk

Harvestables

Nearly every mushroom can be found in the Myconian Cave, so only alternate locations will be listed here.

How to Learn

Mycology is usually acquired early on around Anagoge Island by gathering a patch of Parasol Mushrooms. The skill continues to raise afterwards as you gather various kinds of mushrooms. New players will likely encounter higher tiers of Mushrooms first in the town of Serbule. There are a few patches around the barn which will require higher skill level.
