Ambient dialogue

Fungus: What if all the enemies you ever faced were actually you? Would you still feel like a hero?

Fungus: Go on. Pet Rytlock. What's the worst that could happen?

Fungus: Are you a dragon dreaming that it's a hero? If you were, how would you know?

Fungus: Would you eat a talking mushroom? Go on. Take a bite.

Fungus: What if there were a real world— realer than this one? A higher order, so to speak.

Fungus: Have you ever licked an Itzel? Itzel sweat shows you the stars.

Fungus: No time to spore. Gilly, gilly, gilly. You're late!

Fungus: Have you ever wondered what size you truly ought to be?

Fungus: What if you are an Itzel dreaming it's a Nuhoch?

Fungus: In the space between two asura gates, do you cease to exist?

Fungus: Is the "you" who returned from the dead the same as the "you" who died?

Fungus: Can Palawa Joko Awaken himself?

Fungus: Are they truly your friends, or do they follow you out of obligation?

Notes

• This area is affected by low gravity, allowing you to jump higher than normal.
• Approaching the mushrooms applies the Hallucination effect and spawns weak apparitions of allies from different stories.
  • Continued exposure applies the Bad Trip effect, which causes the Bobblehead Laboratory head enlargement effect, and turns aforementioned allies into enemies.
  • A heavily reverberated and slowed down version of "Faren's Flier" from the Heart of Thorns soundtrack plays while near the mushrooms.
  • If the Hallucination isn't applied, and Scarlet isn't visible, quit the active story and leave the area. Upon returning the effect should be present near the mushrooms.
