Mushroom

The Fungal Symbiote is a Pre-Hardmode accessory that is obtained from the Glowing Mushroom biome shrine. It grants the following effects while equipped:

• Consuming Mushrooms grants the Mushy buff for 60 seconds.
• Allows the player to grow mushrooms beneath them while walking on grass or soil.
• Mushroom-type weapons deal 10% more damage and they also release non-damaging mushrooms. This affects the following weapons:

Fungicide Hammush Hyphae Rod Infested Clawmerang Mushroom Spear Mycelial Claws Mycoroot Puff Shroom Shroomer Shroomerang

Mushroom Types

The type of mushroom that can grow depends on the type of grass or soil the player walks on.

Type	Grows on	Notes
Mushroom	Grass Hallowed grass	n/a
Vile Mushroom	Corrupt grass	n/a
Vicious Mushroom	Crimson grass	n/a
Glowing Mushroom	Mushroom grass	n/a
Green Mushroom Teal Mushroom	Dirt Block	Has a 1/1000 chance every frame

Tips

• The Mushy buff from consuming Mushrooms with the Fungal Symbiote equipped will persist even when the accessory is removed, so the player can get the most out of the effect by equipping it, consuming a Mushroom, and then swapping to a different accessory.
