Shroom Fry

A Shroom Fry (called a Fried Shroom in Paper Mario) is an item found in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It is one of the most basic dishes that can be made in the games.

Tayce T. and Zess T. can create a Shroom Fry by cooking a Mushroom or a Super Shroom. The item heals six HP and two FP, and can be sold for five coins. Cooking a Mushroom in this way will improve the item, but cooking a Super Shroom is a little more questionable. The resultant item will heal less HP than a Super Shroom, though it will heal FP; something the Super Shroom did not do.

Once Mario has given Zess T. the Cookbook, a Dried Shroom can also be used to cook a Shroom Fry. Since Dried Shrooms only cost two coins from West Rogueport, Mario will make a profit of three coins per Shroom Fry if he sells them.

It was succeeded by the identical Fried Shroom Plate in Super Paper Mario.

Fried mushrooms are sometimes served as an appetizer in the United States, and have a similar appearance to chicken nuggets. They are often served with something on the side, as Tayce T. and Zess T. have served theirs garnished with greens.
