Vile Mushroom

A Vile Mushroom is a type of mushroom found only in The Corruption, and is used solely to craft Vile Powder, which in turn has multiple applications. Unlike regular mushrooms, Vile Mushrooms can not be eaten, however, they turn back into regular mushrooms when affected by the Clentaminator with green solution, and vice versa.

A Vile Mushroom farm can be created by planting Corrupt Seeds or connecting dirt strips to existing Corruption, but they need to be exposed to sunlight (not walled in any way). Otherwise, only thorns will spawn.

Care should be taken when farming Vile Mushrooms, as Eater of Souls and thorns will spawn from corrupted grass, and Corruption spreads quickly, especially in Hardmode (where you will need to remove all stone, sand and mud blocks within a three-square radius from corruption, including thorny bushes). Completely containing a Vile Mushroom farm within a shell of non-dirt material, such as bricks, can control these hazards.
