Relevant App Background: "Mushroom Madness understands that there is a tactile thrill in just frantically tapping something to kill it. Sure, there's more to it than that. It's got a good look and enough content to back that mechanic up. However, the real reason Mushroom Madness works as well as it does is because beating away pesky critters with one's finger is just plain fun....Players have five modes to choose from but the basic premise is the same throughout. Bothersome forest creatures are out to steal some delicious mushrooms and the player's job is to make them pay. Another game might have players "capturing" said animals but when Mushroom Madness has players unlocking maces, shotguns and bombs to get the job done, it's pretty clear what's actually going on. The crisp, cute cartoon graphics and laid-back music are the only things covering up how violent this game actually is. At least it's fun violence though. All one has to do is tap on the various pests or hold down for a stronger attack for stronger animals. Spiders are fast but die in one hit while bears need a good thrashing before going down. There's no multi-touch support so players have to determine which animals pose the biggest threat and quickly hunt them one at a time. It's quite visceral...The gameplay is ultimately very shallow - all one really does is tap on anything that moves - but the various modes help to alleviate that. Beyond the regular adventure mode there are modes where players must take on whole waves on animals, last as long as they can, play tower defense, or pick a random chest to see how much money comes out. Getting money, as well as stars, is the driving force behind these modes. Killing animals and completing extra tasks like protecting all mushrooms or destroying all trees gives players the money and stars needed to upgrade weapons and unlock new stages and achievements. For such a simple game there is a lot to do here....Those who want their games to be a little more complicated, as well as those who want their games to be nice to animals, may be justifiably put off by Mushroom Madness. However, anyone looking to indulge with some dumb, savage fun should give it a look..." ("Mushroom Madness Review", https://www.148apps.com/reviews/mushroom-madness-review/)

Relevant Background: "A mushroom or toadstool is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground, on soil, or on its food source...Similarly, there are other mushrooms, like Parasola plicatilis (formerly Coprinus plicatlis), that grow rapidly overnight and may disappear by late afternoon on a hot day after rainfall.[13] The primordia form at ground level in lawns in humid spaces under the thatch and after heavy rainfall or in dewy conditions balloon to full size in a few hours, release spores, and then collapse. They "mushroom" to full size.[citation needed]....Mushrooms are used extensively in cooking, in many cuisines (notably Chinese, Korean, European, and Japanese)....Most mushrooms sold in supermarkets have been commercially grown on mushroom farms. The most popular of these, Agaricus bisporus, is considered safe for most people to eat because it is grown in controlled, sterilized environments. Several varieties of A. bisporus are grown commercially, including whites, crimini, and portobello. Other cultivated species available at many grocers include Hericium erinaceus, shiitake, maitake (hen-of-the-woods), Pleurotus, and enoki. In recent years, increasing affluence in developing countries has led to a considerable growth in interest in mushroom cultivation, which is now seen as a potentially important economic activity for small farmers....Separating edible from poisonous species requires meticulous attention to detail; there is no single trait by which all toxic mushrooms can be identified, nor one by which all edible mushrooms can be identified. People who collect mushrooms for consumption are known as mycophagists,[26] and the act of collecting them for such is known as mushroom hunting, or simply "mushrooming". Even edible mushrooms may produce allergic reactions in susceptible individuals, from a mild asthmatic response to severe anaphylactic shock.[27][28] Even the cultivated A. bisporus contains small amounts of hydrazines, the most abundant of which is agaritine (a mycotoxin and carcinogen).[29] However, the hydrazines are destroyed by moderate heat when cooking....A number of species of mushrooms are poisonous; although some resemble certain edible species, consuming them could be fatal. Eating mushrooms gathered in the wild is risky and should only be undertaken by individuals knowledgeable in mushroom identification. Common best practice is for wild mushroom pickers to focus on collecting a small number of visually distinctive, edible mushroom species that cannot be easily confused with poisonous varieties....Many mushroom species produce secondary metabolites that can be toxic, mind-altering, antibiotic, antiviral, or bioluminescent. Although there are only a small number of deadly species, several others can cause particularly severe and unpleasant symptoms. Toxicity likely plays a role in protecting the function of the basidiocarp: the mycelium has expended considerable energy and protoplasmic material to develop a structure to efficiently distribute its spores. One defense against consumption and premature destruction is the evolution of chemicals that render the mushroom inedible, either causing the consumer to vomit the meal (see emetics), or to learn to avoid consumption altogether. In addition, due to the propensity of mushrooms to absorb heavy metals, including those that are radioactive....Mushrooms with psychoactive properties have long played a role in various native medicine traditions in cultures all around the world. They have been used as sacrament in rituals aimed at mental and physical healing, and to facilitate visionary states. One such ritual is the velada ceremony. A practitioner of traditional mushroom use is the shaman or curandera (priest-healer).[33]...Psilocybin mushrooms possess psychedelic properties. Commonly known as "magic mushrooms" or "'shrooms", they are openly available in smart shops in many parts of the world, or on the black market in those countries that have outlawed their sale. Psilocybin mushrooms have been reported as facilitating profound and life-changing insights often described as mystical experiences. Recent scientific work has supported these claims, as well as the long-lasting effects of such induced spiritual experiences...Some mushrooms are used or studied as possible treatments for diseases, particularly their extracts, including polysaccharides, glycoproteins and proteoglycans.[39] In some countries, extracts of polysaccharide-K, schizophyllan, polysaccharide peptide, or lentinan are government-registered adjuvant cancer therapies,[40][41] even though clinical evidence of efficacy in humans has not been confirmed.[42]...Mushrooms can be used for dyeing wool and other natural fibers. The chromophores of mushroom dyes are organic compounds and produce strong and vivid colors, and all colors of the spectrum can be achieved with mushroom dyes. Before the invention of synthetic dyes, mushrooms were the source of many textile dyes....Some fungi, types of polypores loosely called mushrooms, have been used as fire starters (known as tinder fungi)....Mushrooms and other fungi play a role in the development of new biological remediation techniques (e.g., using mycorrhizae to spur plant growth) and filtration technologies (e.g. using fungi to lower bacterial levels in contaminated water)...."
