Know Fungi (sage ability)

Know fungi is an amateur-status sage ability in the study of Fungi, allowing identification of genera and species of fungi on sight. Knowledge includes being able to tell the difference between mushrooms that a safe to eat, mushrooms likely to make an individual sick and mushrooms that will outright kill an individual. Take note that four character races — dwarf, gnome, halfling and half-orc — are able to eat mushrooms that would cause a human being a very unpleasant time. All of these races have a +1 save where it comes to eating outright poisonous mushrooms.

The knowledge also includes being able to identify molds and fungi-based monsters, though it offers no insight into the weaknesses of these creatures. Does not include identification of slimes, oozes or puddings, for which see Slime Moulds (sage study).
