"At first I assumed she used alchemy, but no: my detection runes would have alerted me to that. After interrogation, the truth is even more embarrassing: she used a primitive science called 'Mycology.' I have transcribed her method below, and will study it more carefully when time permits."

— Elmetaph, "Proctor's Journals"

Mycology Overview

Mycology is a skill that is raised by gathering mushrooms. It gives access to a variety of recipes for the creation of Spore Bombs, poisons, and potions. Mushrooms are also useful in Cooking and Alchemy recipes.

Mycology is usually acquired early on around Anagoge Island by gathering a patch of Parasol Mushrooms. The skill continues to raise afterwards as you gather various kinds of mushrooms. New players will likely encounter higher tiers of Mushrooms first in the town of Serbule. There are a few patches around the barn which will require higher skill level.

In-Game Description

Mastery of fungus in all its forms

Training Mycology

Mycology is often first learned on Anagoge or in Serbule by picking mushrooms or piles of dirt off of the ground. The first recipe, Parasol Mushroom Flakes, is learned by studying an Alchemy book Basics of Alchemy. The book may be found on Elmetaph's bookcase in the lighthouse, or on the second level of the Anagoge Records Facility.

Another Mycology recipe is also found in the Anagoge Records Facility, on the first level. On a pedestal in a room containing several mushrooms, rest the Proctor's Journals. If the player chooses to Study the Details they can learn the recipe for Basic Spore Bombs.
Mushroom Jack and Charles Thompson both sell Mycology recipes and abilities from their homes in Serbule.
Voo and Jaw in the Myconian Cave sell Mycology recipes and abilities.
Yagreet in Sun Vale sells Mycology potion recipes.
Hemmit Magmagrip, a traveling mycologist studying in the New Prestonbule Cave, unlocks levels 51-60 and 61-70 of Mycology.
Backfat in the Fae Realm can sniff out levels 71-80.
Levels 81-90 are unlocked by Dunahain Broadarm deep beneath Povus or Strom Farblood in Statehelm.
Levels 91-100 are unlocked by Strom Farblood.
