Mycologist

Apprentices seed logs, tend growing mushrooms and harvest ingredients for cooking and Alchemy.

Set it up

1. Recruit the Druid, finish their work building and unlock Mycologist through their Apprentice workplace controls. You need a free workplace slot under that supervisor.
2. Use the Building Staff, choose Create workplace, and mark two opposite ground corners inside town. Choose Mycologist, name the area and save. Include the whole Mushroom Log in its marked area and height.
3. Employ a civilian Townsfolk with a nonzero Farming skill. On the journal's Work page, enable Mycologist; priority 1 is highest. Pay their wages and leave a clear walking route.

Craft Mushroom Logs at the Town Planning Desk and place up to six inside the workplace. Use any log to open the growing screen and choose one mushroom type for the site. Check the chosen mushroom's Farming requirement.

Work and output

An Apprentice seeds each log, tends it twice as it grows and picks the harvest into the workplace's own store. Collect it there or through the warehouse's production view. Couriers can supply these mushrooms to recipes.

If work is waiting

Changing the mushroom clears every log, so finish the crop first if you want its harvest. A full store pauses work. Enable the Mycologist priority on a worker with enough Farming skill; enabling the Farming workplace priority alone is not the same job.

Keep the area nearby and loaded. Workers also take breaks for their needs. Open Apprentice workplaces for shared staff controls, Work priorities and wages for employment, and Warehouse and deliveries for supplies.
