Mushroom hunt is an amateur or authority-status sage ability in the studies of Fungi and 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 safe to eat or can be effectively used in the making of 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.
