Dried Shroom

A Dried Shroom is an item in the Paper Mario series. In Paper Mario, Dried Shrooms are only sold in Dry Dry Outpost and Rip Cheato. Although they heal only 1 HP, Dried Shrooms are required to be bought to visit Moustafa. However, the player must buy a Dried Shroom and then a Dusty Hammer at Dry Dry Outpost in that exact order, or it will not trigger the chain of events that allows the player to see Moustafa. Black Li'l Oinks leave them behind as well.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Dried Shrooms are sold at Westside Goods in Rogueport for two Coins. Any mushroom becomes a Dried Shroom when cooked with a Mr. Softener. Mario has to buy a Dried Shroom and a Dizzy Dial to gain access to Don Pianta. Also, Dried Shrooms sell for one coin everywhere except for Twilight Town, where they sell for four coins.

After Mario defeats the Shadow Queen in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, a mysterious treasure chest is found by Professor Frankly. If Mario chooses to come back to Rogueport after beating the game, the professor will find that it contained a measly Dried Shroom, which he, however, views as a precious scientific relic as it proved that ancient societies ate mushrooms.

In Super Paper Mario, Dried Shrooms are dropped by Poison Cherbils and Poison Pokeys and other enemies that cause poison. In that game it heals 1 HP and cures poison.
