The Mushroomancer skill in Monster Hunter World is an ability that, initially, might not seem too useful, but it is. Once you reach High Rank after finishing the required story mission, you’ll see more skills show up in certain armor sets. Some of them provide you with extra damage, others give you resistance, and others allow you to eat things raw for benefits. Yes, you read that right. If you don’t like crafting while fighting or don’t have enough reagents, the Mushroomancer skill in MHW is ideal and will allow you to stay alive while picking ingredients.
Monster Hunter World: Mushroomancer Skill Explained
Essentially, the Mushroomancer skill in MHW allows you to digest raw mushrooms for benefits. This means that you can use Blue Mushrooms, Parashrooms, and others without having to craft them into something different. Here are the benefits of each mushroom in the game:
- Blue Mushroom: Restores a small amount of health.
- Toadstool: Increases health recovery rate by 5 minutes and cures bleeding.
- Nitroshroom: Increases Attack Power. This effect lasts until you faint.
- Parashroom: Increases Defense. The effect lasts until you faint in battle.
- Mandragora: Maximizes your health bar and fully heals.
- Devil’s Blight: Reduce the stamina cost of most actions.
- Exciteshroom: Provides random mushroom effects.
