In Witchfire, the forest floor offers six mushroom varieties. Among them, three can restore both health and stamina, while the remaining trio can harm the hero if consumed. Players should know which mushrooms to seek and which to avoid, as that knowledge can mean the difference between a successful hunt and a perilous setback.
Dangerous and harmful mushrooms in Witchfire
False morel, recognizable by its bright red cap, deals minor health damage and reduces stamina slightly after consumption. It is a tempting find for players who want a quick boost, but the cost to vitality is real and can compound during tense encounters.
Umbrella mushrooms inflict only light harm to health, yet they drain stamina more severely, especially when the user surpasses their endurance limit. In battles or tight chases, this quick stamina loss can leave a hunter exposed and vulnerable to follow-up attacks or surprises.
False golovach, also known as the spotted variety, stands as perhaps the most dangerous option. It causes recurring, noticeable damage to both health and endurance. If attacked in close quarters, the threat remains unless the mushroom is positioned away from explosive barrels. Complete recovery from its effects typically requires several usable healing mushrooms or potent remedies, making caution the wiser choice.
Healthy mushrooms in Witchfire
Common morel offers a modest restoration of health and provides a steady replenishment of stamina when consumed, making it a reliable choice during longer engagements.
Umbrella mushrooms, while similar in goal to their counterpart, feature a distinct dark spot pattern on the cap. When eaten, they restore stamina and provide a small health boost, making them a practical option for sustaining momentum in drawn-out fights.
Golovach mushrooms, sometimes mistaken for raincoats due to their pale appearance, are the friendly cousin in this family. The spotted variant is the most dangerous in general terms, but the pale form is harmless and focuses on health and stamina restoration, offering a safe option when managing recovery without risk of explosive consequences.
Bonus: Collecting a herbarium
Herb Angelica is essential for creating elixirs, which players unlock to craft beneficial mixtures from the second level onward. At present, this game iteration includes Angelica as the primary herb discovered in the wild. The possibility remains that future updates may expand the list, but for now, Angelica remains the key ingredient in the early stages of remedy crafting.
