This black mushroom has a black glossy cap, similar to the Black Mushroom, but is much smaller (about 6" tall). It also is dark purple underneath and along its stem.
The dark purple meat of this mushroom is very poisonous. The meat is an ingestive poison and must be consumed in order to kill an animal. It can be used to create a paste, tea, powder or it can be used as is. It kills very quickly and is almost always fatal. Only the strongest of creatures can survive it.
None.
There are strong ties between this poisonous fungus and the cult of Karenia. The mushroom is one of the symbols of that religion and is used extensively by Karenia’s priests.
Tolerance: It's possible to build up a tolerance to Karenia's Brew, but it takes many years. It must be taken weekly in very small doses. It's dangerous to attempt. Even in small doses, it can kill.
