In real life, mushrooms can be cultivated by inoculating logs with spores and placing the logs in ideal conditions
this would allow the player to produce different types of mushrooms seasonally without having to forage for them

i do also think they should make mushrooms more seasonal/weather dependent

Mushroom cultivation would be pretty nifty, but I will confess to thinking 'why would I bother for 20 less satiety to normal farm crops?' Imo rn mushrooms fall once you get even a couple harvests from a farm.

That'll do it then, worldgen might screw you and farm crops end up being rare in some manner, but inundate you with shrooms.

Cascadiamushrooms says their oyster mushrooms take like 2 weeks to grow

Hot damn

They also keep growing, you can get 3 harvests per kit
Oh and some can grow in woodchips

Ooo, debarking logs could give the bark as an item to be mulched
tall knoll
I'd assume they like the bark, might protect the mycelia and help trap moisture
carmine edge
Yup.
