Ironcap Mushrooms
Ironcap mushrooms are a type of mushroom found in certain caves in Reshyk. They get their name from their powdery metallic texture, rather than their unique properties. The mushrooms have to be handled with extreme care, because one spark can cause them to erupt in intense flames. They burn at temperatures nearly double that of Shadowflame Coal, but for a much shorter time, reaching their peak temperature in about a second. It should go without saying that they are not edible.
They have a wide variety of uses, including explosives, signal flares, fireworks, Alchemist's Fire, and several alchemical and magical applications. They can be used as a substitute for Shadowflame Coal for some purposes, which makes them much more desirable because they are cheap to produce and are renewable. However, their volatility has led to many accidents.
