Fried Mushroom

Fried Mushroom is a cooked food item created by preparing Raw Mushroom on a Gas Range. It serves as an intermediate cooked ingredient that can be further transformed into higher-value dishes used to diversify a colony’s food supply and improve duplicant morale when combined in finished meals.

Fried Mushroom is produced by placing Raw Mushroom into a Gas Range and running the cooking job; it is not a harvestable plant product itself. The item is used as an ingredient in two recipes available on the Gas Range: Mushroom Wrap and Mushroom Quiche. Both recipes require Fried Mushroom as a component, making it useful for players who wish to expand beyond basic raw food and craft more complex meals that restore more calories or provide additional morale bonuses.

• Fried Mushroom must be cooked on a Gas Range; it cannot be produced by other cooking buildings.
• It functions primarily as an intermediate ingredient rather than a finished ration meant to be eaten directly by duplicants.
• Converting Raw Mushroom into Fried Mushroom, and then into wrap or quiche recipes, helps improve food variety and allows efficient use of mushroom crops within a base’s culinary chain.
