Death Cap Mushroom

Mundane; material

Region: Dungeons, Feywood, Haunted Lands, Underland Realm (caves, old-growth forests, sites of necromantic magic)

To the uneducated, death cap mushrooms have a disconcerting resemblance to high-end culinary mushrooms, such as morels. Those who succeed on a DC 17 Nature or Survival check can discern the subtle differences between the two and identify these as unsafe to eat. Not everyone is so knowledgeable, however, and death caps can be used as a deadly poison on an unsuspecting victim, detailed below.

Death Cap
Rare, ingested, onset (30 minutes), Cost: 1,200 gold
Resembling a delicious morel mushroom, death cap mushrooms can be mixed into food by accident by those believing they have come across a culinary delicacy or purposefully by those with malicious intent. Creatures who ingest food laced with death cap mushrooms must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 33 (5d6) poison damage on a failure or half as much damage on a success.
