Shroomberry

Shroomberry is a type of food found in the Roots. Consuming a Shroomberry produces a random effect that depends on the map and Shroomberry type. The effect of a Shroomberry type is consistent in each map.

The Shroomberry has the following variations:

•  Red Shroomberry
•  Yellow Shroomberry
•  Green Shroomberry
•  Blue Shroomberry
•  Purple Shroomberry

Eating (or feeding another player) all 5 types of Shroomberry in a single expedition grants the player the  Advanced Mycology Badge.

Although the name may suggest otherwise, Shroomberries are not considered mushrooms for the purposes of the  Mycology Badge. They do, however, count as berries towards the  Foraging Badge.

Effects

Out of 10 possible effects at least 2 good and 2 bad effects are chosen for the current map's Shroomberries. In addition to an effect, each Shroomberry gives 0–20  Bonus stamina,  5 Spores, and removes  10 Hunger. The effects of Shroomberries are tied to the current map.

As of 1.43.a,  Red and  Yellow Shroomberries are guaranteed to have good effects,  Green and  Blue Shroomberries are guaranteed to have bad effects,  Purple Shroomberries can have either a good or a bad effect.

Good effects

• Infinite stamina for 4 seconds after a 3 second delay (similar to a  Big Lollipop or  Bugle of Friendship).
• +150% faster climbing speed and +50% movement speed for 5 seconds (similar to an  Energy Drink).
• Wind walk for 15 seconds after a 3 second delay.
• Invincibility for 10 seconds.
