Fancy Collar Shroom

Mushrooms

Approximate size: Varies (Largest size on record had a cap the width of a Frisbee.)
Seasonal Growth: Spring to Summer



Fancy Collar Shrooms are named for their unique collar like frill which grows out from under the cap. They're a moderately common fungus that grows around Whistler Crest, and they're often seen in vibrant shades of purple and pink. They can vary in size, but are rarely found to have caps larger than a Frisbee. It would also appear that this particular fungus is very invasive, as there are few competing types of mushrooms growing around the immediate area. Most of the time they're picked and used sparingly in particular dishes. It is advised that you not eat them raw or in large quantities. They're not toxic, but ingesting them without proper preparation can lead to...interesting outcomes. It will make you act loopy! Locals call the behaviour "shrooming". They are most commonly found in shaded areas. They grow around the bases of houses, other buildings, and large trees. They'll be easier to find in the forest, largely because of all the construction in town uprooting or destroying them, but you may find them in some untouched areas. They are easy to pick, same as harvesting anything that's just rooted to the ground.
