Mushroom Cloud

Mushroom Cloud is a consumable item

Characteristics
This food gives +3 HP a second for 20 seconds, while at the same time increasing the player character's Action Points by +3 until the effects wear off. These boosts make it a potent mid-level healing item.

Crafting
This item must be crafted by the player character. It cannot be found on enemies or in containers.

Creation requirements

Behind the scenes
Mushroom Cloud recipe is featured in the Fallout Vault Dweller's Survival Guide. A different recipe is included in The Vault Dweller's Official Cookbook. A comprehensive recipe for Mushroom Cloud, called Meringue Mushrooms, is posted on Tim Cain's blog.

Bugs
Prior to patch 1.2.0.31x, the recipe called for two piles of night stalker eggs. This is a quest item for Bleed Me Dry, and only one could be found in the entire game, preventing the recipe from being created. It has since been changed to require only one regular night stalker egg.
