Mushrooms can be found throughout The Tower of Barbs. They can have various effects such as Poison, Sleep, Restore Health, and more. Whichever effect they may have, they always restore a small amount of HP and award XP when eaten. Normal mushrooms give +10 XP, golden mushrooms give +100 XP, and skillshrooms give +500 XP.
Mushrooms can be eaten immediately or stored in the Death Bag. Certain mushrooms can be thrown at enemies to unleash their effects.
Normal Mushrooms can be grilled to enhance their properties. Grilling can be done at various fires in the tower, including the brazier next to the Mushroom Club in the Waiting Room. To grill mushrooms, enter throw mode while near a fire. When close enough to the fire, the "throw" icon will change into a "grill" icon. Pressing X will make the fighter step forward and hold out the item for grilling.
*Note: Distance from the flame is important, and some fires in the tower have have a smaller 'sweet spot' than others. Standing too close will set the fighter on fire, while too far will result in a failure to grill the item. Successive grilling may shift the fighter slightly, moving them closer to the flame or further away (potentially changing the Grill option back to Throw).
