Description

Despite what the name may have you think, these mushrooms grow most prevalently in late winter and early spring. Although their growing season and region are in closer relation to the Ether Hunt holiday, Witchhat mushrooms are still more commonly associated with All-Fright’s End (although by that point, the mushrooms have been dried or canned).

The moniker “witchhat mushroom” comes from the shape of their caps and their history in witchcraft and dark magic. Historians believe most supernatural associations hail from the sap-like ooze’s magnetic properties. Additionally, the strong toxins in the ooze means that witchhat mushrooms have no culinary use. Still, those invested in the art of transmutation have uncovered numerous use cases for the deadly mushroom, especially after magic became more widely accepted.
