The Mushroomancer skill is a unique power that activates when you wear certain armor in Monster Hunter Wilds.
In addition to influencing your stats, different armor in Monster Hunter Wilds can have additional buffs called “skills,” which activate under special circumstances. One of these skills is called Mushroomancer, which is especially strong since it allows your hunter to consume mushrooms.
In this Monster Hunter Wilds guide, we’ll explain what the Mushroomancer skill does, how to get it, and how to use it.
What does the Mushroomancer skill do in Monster Hunter Wilds?
The Mushroomancer skill allows you to digest mushrooms that would otherwise be inedible and gain positive effects from them, similar to the Congalala monster. This means you can eat certain mushrooms and they will act as a support item for your hunter.
Below, see a table that contains the full list of mushroom effects when you consume each item with the Mushroomancer skill active.
Mushroom type Effect Blue mushroom Works like a potion and will restore a small amount of health. Toadstool Works like an immunizer and will temporarily boost your natural ability to recover lost health. Nitroshroom Works like a demondrug and will temporarily boost your attack power. Parashroom Works like an armorskin and will temporarily boost your defense. Mandragora Works like a max potion and will fully restore your health and temporarily maximizes the size of your health gauge. Devil's blight Works like a dash juice which will recover stamina and temporarily reduce stamina depletion when performing actions. Exciteshroom This will provide a random effect from another mushroom.
The Mushroomancer skill has three different levels. The skill level is determined by how many pieces of armor your hunter has equipped that have the skill. The overall skill level is equal to the sum of the levels of all your equipped pieces of armor that have the skill. For example, if your hunter has the Mushroom Charm I equipped (which has Mushroomancer level one) and the Conga Mail (which has Latent Power level one), the overall skill level will be three.
Here is a chart that shows you how much of a stat boost you will get from each level. Note, that the level maxes out at three.
- Level 1: Allows you to digest blue mushrooms and toadstools.
- Level 2: Allows you to digest blue mushrooms, toadstools, nitroshrooms, and parashrooms.
- Level 3: Allows you to digest blue mushrooms, toadstools, nitroshrooms, parashrooms, devil’s blight, and exciteshrooms.
