BRAIN FUNGUS

Flora Uncommon Edible

A remarkable post-war mutation, the Brain Fungus exhibits extraordinary neurological properties. Its unique structure mimics human neural pathways, creating a bioelectric field that temporarily enhances cognitive function when consumed. Field studies indicate concentrated growth patterns near sources of low-level radiation, particularly in cave systems and abandoned structures throughout Appalachia.
