In SCUM, there are a variety of Mushrooms that fall under two main types: edible and lethal. At first glance, it can be difficult to tell lethal Mushrooms apart from those suitable for consumption. Make a mistake and eat a lethal Mushroom, and your character will quickly perish.
Meanwhile, eating an edible mushroom can help give your character enough of a boost to survive a bit longer, even if they don’t have access to cans of food. To help make Mushrooms less confusing, we’ve put together a quick guide on all Mushrooms in SCUM including those that are lethal, and those that are edible!
