Introduction to Mushrooms

Mushrooms are a family of resources with different rarities, some extremely easy to find and others rare and troublesome to acquire. Mushrooms appear randomally throughout Egypt during the night, mostly between 2:00-4:30, though some have different spawn times.

You can hunt for mushrooms during the above hours; basically, choose a large stretch of land, away from the Chariot Stops, and arrive there at around 2:00. Start running around the area, using the Builder's Cam (shortcut is F7)- in several minutes you will be able to see small glints or dark spots on the landscape. Approach them and change to a different camera (using F5, F6 and F8). Click on a mushroom to pick it up.

A good location for your first mushroom hunt (nicknamed Shrooming) is large stretches of grass, as it has a high variety of mushrooms, and they are easily seen using Builder's Cam.
