The Long Dark Wiki

Prepared Reishi Mushrooms are a natural medical item used to treat Afflictions in The Long Dark.

Overview[]

Prepared Reishi Mushrooms are crafted from 2 Reishi Mushrooms and take 15 minutes (in-game) to create; Reishi Tea requires 1 Prepared Reishi Mushrooms, 0.25L of Potable Water and 10 minutes at a lit Fire.

Reishi Tea functions similar to Antibiotics for treating Afflictions, however consuming prepared Reishi Tea (even without treating an Affliction) restores 100 Calories, 30% Hydration and potentially granting the benefit "Warming Up".

Reishi Mushrooms can be found in the wilderness growing on the trunks or stumps of dead trees, typically in clusters of 1-3 units. They cannot be directly consumed and must first be crafted into Prepared Reishi Mushrooms and then cooked into Reishi Tea.

Prepared Reishi Mushrooms have half the weight of their raw form, and no form of Reishi Mushroom decays.

Tips[]

  • Reishi Mushrooms are found sporadically in all regions on the trunks of dead pine trees.
  • Reishi Mushrooms (and thus Reishi Tea) are finite in all regions and do not regrow, but are renewable via Beachcombing.
  • Antibiotics are not a renewable resource and cannot be crafted; however Reishi Tea is functionally similar to Antibiotics, but is made from natural materials found abundantly in the wilds.
