How far have you played? There are good recipes later with yelkow mushrooms. And they only spawn in Dungeons in forest and swamp.

They are good for marking your path to find your way back in nomap mode.

Medium stamina mead uses yellow mushrooms, and they're always good to have on hand if you don't need the lingering mead for your current purposes.

Even the boars wont eat them, so what does that tell you?

I like them for entrance lights.

just pick up what you want or need, there is so much loot in the game and you dont need most of it. and yellow muchrooms are pretty good food for early game if you dont have honey or if you want 2 stamina food. and medium stamina mead is the top atm because there is not a large one

Berserkir meads use them.

You want Berserkir meads.

Great as forever low level lights

Yes, but only 10 for the base and the base makes 6 at a time. Maybe I play differently or something but I really just don't use meads all that often - in fact pretty much just during boss fights. So mead isn't really consuming the yellow mushrooms for me all that fast.

Gotten to and defeated Yagluth several times. Haven't gotten into the Mistlands yet for various reasons - first time 'round because the other people I was playing with stopped playing so I decided to start a new game solo, and use a mod to create a single giant continent with massive biomes. Then the game updated just as I was about to go into the Mistlands and my home base ended up being about 50 feet in the air and started collapsing around me even as the world was now full of giant craters and sunken crypts that were actually underwater and so on.

Took a break from the game, came back after a while, started up a new game on the GONDWANA seed (I like big continents). Everything was going great...and then the Ashlands update dropped and the map markers got all screwed up. I rolled up to where Yagluth's altar was supposed to be and instead found a random fuling fort. So that was depressing. Took another break, played a bunch of Stellaris and Baldur's Gate 3

So now I'm in my third run, working my way through the swamps at the moment, which has been annoying because my home continent, despite having multiple swamp biomes and even Bonemass' altar, only had a grand total of like 5 sunken crypts. I've had to go west practically to the Mistlands to find a swamp that'll actually provide for my iron needs through at least some of the Mountain and Plains biomes.

They also work as light underwater. But they have a pretty decent base value for base work, etc. Yellows with BB, and a red or rasp will keep you on your toes. Boar feed? I don't tame atm, so ... coal from the obliterater.

Nope.

I thought of that when I had huge excess amounts to skill up farming.

I heavily disagree with you. Stamina meads are essential and make every play through significantly better by 100%. All of my yellow mushrooms dissapear so often that I have to resort to utilizing the plant everything mod just to plant yellow mushroom responds around my builds.

Hey if they help ya that's great.

....but I literally "never" make or use stamina potions and don't feel like I'm the worse for it. I use lingering stamina later on for the heck of it but that doesn't need the shrooms.

“Essential” means “absolutely necessary”. Given that I’ve been getting along fine without them, they’re not absolutely necessary. Really the only reason I brew up the stamina mead at all is I like having a table full of different meads as decorations.

Love me them medium stam pots, usually save them for fishing.
Still really nice if you're running 2x stam food and running up a mountain / mist rocks.
Sometimes it's a lifesaver, especially when water is involved.
