Overview[edit | edit source]

The Ascerbic Mushroom can be found from brown, blue, and red mushroom patches across the whole map and can be eaten for food and other certain properties.

Usage[edit | edit source]

It can be used to tame a Glowtail.

Ascerbic Mushrooms work similarly to and can be used in recipes in place of Narcoberry. When consumed, Ascerbic Mushrooms increase Torpidity by 25 points over 2 seconds, and provides immunity to Element Biome Poisons.

Gathering[edit | edit source]

They can be gathered by hand from the small red blue and brown mushrooms found throughout Aberration. They can be gathered more efficiently by using a Sickle but can only be harvested from the red and blue mushrooms this way.

Spoil times[edit | edit source]

Container	Spoiling Time
Player Inventory	10m
Tamed Dino	40m

Smokehouse	2h 30m
Refrigerator	16h 40m

For more information, see Spoilage.

Notes/Trivia[edit | edit source]

The Ascerbic Mushroom is more potent than Narcoberries.
A Narcotic takes 5 Ascerbic Mushrooms.
- A Narcotic gives 40 Torpor, while 5 Ascerbic Mushrooms gives 125 Torpor.
