🆕 Updated for Eco 14 — “Garbage & Recycling” — this server and these numbers now reflect the new version. What changed →
  • Byproducts: nearly every recipe now leaves waste behind, so recipe pages list byproducts alongside ingredients.
  • Garbage & recycling: waste sorts from mixed garbage down to pure materials, and can be recycled back into stock.
  • Pollution has four kinds: acid rain, chemical, soil and heavy mineral, each settling into the ground differently. Pollution guide →
  • Modules reworked: upgrades are now Basic / Advanced / Modern / Specialty, one per slot, driving the same bonus system as talents. Module guide →
  • Fresh water: machines need it — water drawn from the ocean has to be desalinated first.

Notes

Cookeina Mushrooms are a raw foraged fungus, found in the wild as "Cookeina Mushroom" plants. They provide a modest mix of all four nutrients (2 carbs, 4 protein, 1 fat, 1 vitamin), but their low total nutrition makes them useful primarily as an early food source or as an ingredient in higher-tier recipes like Jungle Campfire Stew and Mushroom Medley. For best results, use Cookeina Mushrooms in cooking rather than eating them raw, since balanced cooked meals will contribute far more to your skill-point XP gain from diet.

Diet & XP

Eating doesn't change a food's calories or nutrition — those are fixed. What your diet changes is your skill-gain rate (XP). This estimates the rate this food's nutrients contribute. ≈ estimate; set your diet in the ⚙ Character panel.

Cookeina Mushrooms are tiny cup mushrooms, weighing 75 g each and stacking up to 100, that grow naturally as harvestable crops and can be composted. As a raw food, each mushroom provides 200 calories with a nutrient profile of 2 carbs, 4 protein, 1 fat, and 1 vitamin — a total nutrient value of 8 — though these nutrition numbers are fixed and do not scale with how you eat them; their real contribution to your diet is through the food-quality system, where variety and balance in your meals can boost your overall skill-gain rate. With a shelf life of 96 hours, these mushrooms are best used fresh or cooked. Foraged from Cookeina Mushroom plants in the wild, they can also be cultivated as a crop. They serve as an ingredient in a wide range of recipes, including Agriculture Research Paper Basic, Charred Mushrooms, Cookeina Mushroom Spores, Gathering Basic Upgrade, Gathering Research Paper Basic, Jungle Campfire Stew, Millionaires Salad, Mushroom Medley, and Pirozhok.
