Blusher Mushroom is a type of poison found in Faerieland.
Description[]
It is a pale fungus that blooms with beads of a red liquid that looks uncomfortably like blood.
Usage[]
In small doses it causes paralysis, while in large doses it causes death, even for the Folk. It is said that when one takes the poison, it makes their body stop working until they die. They aren't dangerous if you don't drink the red liquid.
History[]

Oak tells Suren that he when he was cut from his mother's womb when she died, he has blusher mushroom in his veins. This gives him a higher tolerance for the poison and makes him believe that he is poison.
