Mushroom hunt is an amateur-status sage ability in the study of Fungi and an authority-status ability in the study of Forester. Also known as mushrooming and mushroom picking, it is the practice of gathering mushrooms in the wild, typically for eating. Given that there are mushrooms that are notoriously difficult to identify ("little brown mushrooms"), the distinction in a medieval setting is far less scientific and concentrates more upon whether or not a mushroom can be safely eaten or certainly determined as useful for making poison.
The area searched must be a truly wild 2-mile hex area in wooded or partially wooded environments. Time to locate 1-2 pounds of desired mushrooms will require 2-5 hours of stalking. This search time will be cut in half if the character has achieved authority status. Only locally available mushrooms can be found.
