About

A Mushroom Lab is a quick way to determine the suitability of a soil type to the conditions required for a given Mushroom Type to grow.

Using spores of a known Mushroom Type and a Cloudy Revelation Solvent (a fast acting growth accelerant), it is possible to determine quickly if a soil will be conducive to the growing of that wild Mushroom Type. Sadly the resulting mycelium will not fruit, but the rate at which it grows is a good indicator to wild mushroom growth.

To make a Mushroom Lab, you require a Cloudy Revelation Solvent and a Jar of Spores of the given Mushroom Type you are interested in testing. Each batch will create roughly 10 vials of solution to conduct tests with.

Mushroom Labs are created in a Chemistry Laboratory.

Use

To use a Mushroom Lab, select Self -> Skills -> Ecology -> Test area with a Mushroom Lab, and then select the lab from the popup. A message will be given in Main chat, like "The ground at -6, -6726 could be rated as 30 out of 100".

Ecology Data

Use this table to report spot ecology readings and the associated % suitability reported by Mushroom Labs. This data should help guide the creation of appropriate growing media mixtures in the Compost Mixer.
