The Shademarsh Mushroom is an unassuming brown-capped mushroom that can be found growing in swamplands on several continents. Once a harmless fungus, the magical energy that came with the Cataclysm twisted it into a dark poison. When consumed or inhaled, Shademarsh exhausts the heart and mind to a dangerous extent until the poison is purged from the body or cured.
History
The Shademarsh was once a common and simple edible mushroom found in Daendroc. Slaves under the Elven Empire often consumed it as a food source. Following the Cataclysm however, the plant changed. Now possessing malicious characteristics, people who scrounged them in the hope for food were instead poisoned and often died within the hour without assistance. With its new ability, Shademarsh became an easily procured poison for dark intentions. However, after a splurge of purchases in and around the Ithanian Gem Boom, the mushroom was no longer easy to find. Following this, when specimens were found, they were often taken and sold off to other regions of the world. Some of these specimens spread into the wild and so now, hidden in dark and secret corners, continues to grow.
Appearance
Shademarsh Mushrooms are small brown capped mushrooms that stand about five or six inches off of the ground. They rest on a beige stalk that bulges a bit at the bottom. The only feature that gives it away as a poisonous plant is the small, black hair-like fibers that poke out the bottom of the cap, which has a diameter of four inches. The mushrooms themselves grow in clusters of three to ten near the mouths of caves or directly at the roots of swamp trees.
Uses and Abilities
The Shademarsh Mushroom has two uses, each tied to it’s ability to overdrive the heart and mind with stimuli. One is as a poison to push someone’s mind and heart over the brink. This can be accomplished through eating the mushroom or inhaling the fungus dry. To cure this, the body needs to either vomit and purge the poison from its system or the afflicted person must drink Avetyaben’s Grace. Another more recent use has been as a high end drug, as if taken in the smallest doses, its effects are not lethal. Rather, they produced an elevated heart rate and borderline psychedelic warped visions in it’s users. This is a much less known use and is currently most popular in Daenshore.
Trivia
- Experimentation with the fungus is beginning to ramp up amongst alchemists, most notably by a Golden Hand sect known as the Diamond Spine who makes a profit to fund their magic research by dealing with drugs and illegal potions.
- Shademarsh Mushrooms were once said to hold water very well, but this myth is entirely false.
