Kings Goblet

Summary:
This strange mushroom is very commonly found in humid areas, it does not matter if the area is one that gets a lot of rainfall or areas that tend to have a lot of run-off of water. They grow in dark environments such as caves but prefer to grow underneath large shady trees that get very minimal sun-light at their base.

The King's Goblet releases spores that mix with the water they collect in their caps; this water is then consumed by various creatures in passing. This is the method the fungus uses to spread their spores, for as the animals defecate or urinate, the spores will be passed on. These spores are not without effect on their hosts, as they have sedative properties and will cause most creatures that drink the laced water to become drowsy or to fall asleep soon after consumption.

Appearance:
These medium size mushrooms can grow to be about six to seven inches tall and about three to four inches wide. They get their name due to their very uncommon cup-like appearance, which is why they are able to collect water in their cap. The cap of this fungus tends to be bright in color, often shades of burnt gold with accenting colored spots near the brim. They have a deep indent at the top where the water will pool on them.

Uses in Alchemy:
To be Filled

Best means of harvesting:

Plant - Cut halfway through the stalk to maintain form factor

Water - Collect via any means of water collection and storage.

Greenhouse Notes:  Fungus is best kept in a humid environment with plenty of shade and plenty of water collection. Simulated rain or water run-offs are sufficient for species survival. Fertile soil required.
