Magic Mushroom Meadows

Ernte auf den Zauberpilzwiesen - Brictaelgis

Magic mushrooms are an important export of Brictaelgis and nowhere do they grow better than in the meadows of western Âdocôris.

The Meadows have become an integral part of the lives and many traditions of the Meadow Goblins since their discovery in the 7th millennium before the founding of the Council. These include the naming of the clans, mushroom festivals, the Adocôrian Mushroom Day and the invention of the mushroom harvester.

Ecosystem

The mushroom keepers believe that roots of the Aqi Talúsix - Tree of Elements have spread underground, which has led to the clear development of a magical mycelium.
The soils of the mushroom meadows are acidic and enriched with Estrae and Othri. In addition, the weather in this part of the country is significantly wetter and warmer, so the mushrooms thrive in greater numbers.
The fruiting bodies of magic mushrooms come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, colors, flavors and, of course, levels of magical or healing potency. Depending on the month, different magic mushrooms grow, meaning that the mushroom harvest occurs almost all year round.

There are mushrooms
that grow only one day, only on
certain times of day
or only grow at night.

The purple mushroom of lights
grows during the last
warm autumn nights
seeing.

The fluorescent mushroom
has psychedelic effects
and becomes for visions
and dream interpretation used.

For a better effect
the fungus becomes in one
alcohol solution inserted.

A dangerous pest is the common mushroom fly, whose maggots can destroy entire mushroom harvests during the summer months.
Magic curly birches grow in the meadows with curly inflorescences that form a symbiosis with the mycelium.
Beneath the surface, the mycelium is maintained by emerald ants, which supply the hyphae with estra-rich food from indicator plants such as nettles, dindle or feverfew.

Economic factor

The Grand Duchy of the Mushroom West Meadows has a monopoly on the sale of all products related to magic mushrooms. Dried, pickled and fresh mushrooms, powders, potions and a wide variety of mixtures are sold. In addition, there are of course a variety of books dedicated to breeding and use. The share of Âdocôris's total gross domestic product is around 45%, which is certainly considerable, but also poses enormous risks for the country in the event of crop failures.
Mycotic professions are highly respected among mushroom keepers. In at least every family there is at least one member who is somehow involved in breeding or processing. This is probably where the saying comes from: "Every mushroom knows a guardian." There are mycologists who know everything about mushrooms. Mushroom shamans specialize in the use of mushroom medicine. In addition, there are the fungi engineers who invent all sorts of equipment for growing and using mushrooms.
