Details[]
A mushroom that contains large amounts of a substance known
to replenish Ki, the essence of Ninpo.
It grows wild on cliffs in remote mountain areas that are extremely
difficult to reach. Most specimens are gathered by followers of
Shugendo when on pilgrimages to mountainous regions. The
mushroom is rich in alkaloids that are poisonous to most people,
but those tenacious enough to have developed a tolerance to it
prize its Ki-regenerating properties. Strangely enough, those who
consume the mushroom claim that it is quite delicious.
