Concept Flora Part 4: Giant Winecap
Commonly Found In: Hardwood forests or any location where hardwood is decaying (damp storage areas, lumber camps, etc.)
Proposed Alchemic Properties: Restore magica, resist fire, drain willpower, damage speed
Harvested Portions: Cap and stalk
Native Uses: Food, alchemy
Source/Inspiration: Common Wine Cap Mushroom

Notes: The giant wine cap is a Breton oddity. It has been used for centuries by mages, healers and alchemists for brewing two highly beneficial potions - one to restore Magica and the other to protect the user from flame.

The first property is likely due to the mushroom?s affect on the imbiber?s will power, since it temporarily drains the will and converts it to raw magica through a process not yet understood. (Refinement can remove the draining effect and will still permit a potent restorative to be brewed.) The second beneficial property is thought to come from the fungus? predisposition to growing in fire-resistant hardwood chips.

Side effects of eating the raw, unrefined mushroom in small quantities are known to include both the draining of willpower and a mild lethargy that causes the imbiber to become sluggish. Cooking would appear to remove the toxins that cause this. Giant wine cap is seen as a delicacy and is often added to stews or soups. They are also found served in a red wine sauce as a common Breton side dish.

The giant wine cap is natively found in hardwood forests and prefers the moderate temperatures of spring and fall. It cannot survive extremely cold temperatures and is thus found most frequently in the south-western portions of High Rock at lower elevations. Alchemists and farmers also cultivate it in piles of hardwood chips.

I, of course, will take this, and get started right away, probably with a pic before you even see this post.

Here's my first stab at it. Sorry if it looks a little bumpy, I found a feature and went crazy with it. :D
