i knew that cheat, never thought of it as a mushroom patch tho...

and what is this about monkies?


Cheat?! I prefer to think of them as mushroom patches without counters like the berry bush. The monkey reference is to one of the event that pops up. I wont spoil it for you, but highlight the empty area if you wish to know more.
The Wild Mushroom
(Your villager) has been watching the local monkeys and has observed them eating a particular variety of mushroom that sprouts rapidly and decays following a rain. One day, (he/she) finds and picks one, yet (he/she) is not sure whether to taste it or not.

Taste the mushroom
1) Taste the mushroom. The mushroom is delicious! (Your villager) has found a new tasty and nutritious food source, and gains foraging experience in the process. (He/She) then harvests the wild crop and adds them to the village food stores.

2) Taste the mushroom. A few minutes after tasting the strange fungus, (your villager) starts to feel very sick and is overcome with nausea and stomach cramps.

Discard the mushroom
1) Discard the mushroom. (Your villager) decides it is just too dangerous to try the strange mushroom, even though the monkeys seem to be eating them. For that matter, (he/she) is not completely sure this is the same kind.
