Vile Mushroom

A Vile Mushroom is a type of mushroom found only in The Corruption, and is used solely to craft Vile Powder (1 Vile Mushroom produces 5 Vile Powder), which in turn is used to craft Worm Food when combined with Rotten Chunks. Vile Powder can also be used as an early ranged weapon, though its range is significantly limited, and to upgrade Throwing Knives. Unlike other mushrooms, Vile Mushrooms can not be eaten.

A Vile Mushroom farm can be created by planting Corrupt Seeds or connecting dirt strips to existing Corruption. Care should be taken when farming Vile Mushrooms, as Eaters of Souls and thorns will spawn from corrupted grass, and Corruption spreads quickly. Completely containing a Vile Mushroom farm within a shell of non-dirt material, such as stone, can control these hazards.
