Mushroom clusters are generally found within forests, and less commonly in other places. Pressing the use key on one (default 'E') will pick the cluster and give the player a mushroom in their inventory. Mushroom clusters are important for the survival of those starting out, as other food sources may not be present or accessible due to a lack of weapons. Mushrooms will give a small amount of hunger, thirst, and health satisfaction, enough to stave off starvation until better food sources present themselves.
