	'''Mushroom hunt''' is an [[Knowledge Points\|amateur or authority]]-status [[Sage Ability\|sage ability]] in the [[Sage Study\|studies]] of [[Fungi (sage study)\|Fungi]] and [[Forester (sage study)\|Forester]]. Also known as "mushrooming" and "mushroom picking," this involves the activity of collecting wild mushrooms, typically for consumption. In a medieval setting, the emphasis is less upon scientific identification and more on determining whether a mushroom is [[Food\|safe to eat]] or can be effectively used in the making of [[Poison (substance)\|poison]].

-To engage in mushroom hunting, the character must explore a 2-mile hex area located in wooded or partially wooded hinterland or wilderness.  The process of locating '''1 to 2 lbs.''' of mushroom requires 2-5 hours of "stalking," or careful searching.  Characters with 10 or more points of knowledge above what's needed to obtain the skill (which depends on class and study of origin) may reduce this search time by half.  It's important to note that only mushrooms locally available in the specific area can be located.
