I think it might actually be in the game, because in this guide on GameFAQs, the author writes how much food it's worth, (100) and it is also noted as VERY RARE. I guess that means, either the author went through the image files, found it, and took a wild guess at how much food it would give, or it really is in the game!!!

I just looked through that guide and it seems the author knows a great deal about the game. Either (s)he's played it an awful lot (and timed it all very carefully along the way -- very detailed explanations on timing of everything!) or has gotten some insider info somehow. So it seems plausible that the info on the elusive secret shroom would be right!

I agree; the author has obviously worked hard on the game. The guide is well-written and logical. It's not correct in all respects, though. For instance, when talking about builders gaining skills, s/he refers to getting them to examine/fix the huts. In fact, builders only gain skills through 'fixing' the huts; 'examining' the huts confers no extra skill.

The third type of mushroom must be VERY VERY rare, though, since no-one has ever reported in the forum its appearance in their game!

I remeber that shroom. it cursed me forever but then i saw a picture (Forgot where) On these forums! A child was near the *drum rool please* Thrid mushie!

I think I remember that picture... but it was too small to really make it out well.

No this one was a LIL bigger and i'm pretty sure the picture was of VV3 not VV2 We must find it!

Edit : Why lookie what i found snooping around the forums!



And Deathwing was the one who posted it!

i had a third mushie! huh? i really had it! and it got 100 tech points!

Tech points? Are you sure?

i mean food points.

This is clearly an edited screenshot though. It is possible the shroom was present in the original screen capture, but since it's already an edit I would not want to rely on this image as evidence that it is used by the game.

Has anybody else seen this shroom in-game?
