You guys are coming up with so many different, interesting dungeon sections. Even though I'm not participating, I can't wait for this thing to be done.

Troll tea is best when the magma is straight out of the crucible
I am still working on this, just haven't got much done yet. Here is a little update.
My new Deviant-thing. I finally caved.
I thought you were kdding there but no this is a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Octen-3-ol
I like this bit: Octenol is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a food additive. It is of moderate toxicity with an LD 50 of 340 mg/kg - Swell !
LD50 stands for Lethal Dose 50%, and it is the level at which 50% of a given test population shall snuff it. It is quoted in mg/kg - milligrammes per kilogramme and it should say 'body weight' or 'BW'. So applied to humans it would take approximately 25g to kill a 70Kg person 50% of the time. Or half kill or do some sort of Schroedinger thing.
That's why it's moderate toxicity - you'd have to drink around a shot glass of the stuff and given the taste of it you'd likely vomit it as soon as it got in your mouth. It has an odour threshold of around 1 part per billion which is roughly a tablespoon chucked into an olympic swimming pool of water. Typically it wouldn't be used in a flavour at more than a couple of g/kg. So given a dose rate of around 3g/kg of finished food you'd need to consume more than 100kg of the food in one sitting to get anywhere near the LD50.
TL;DR - you'd have to go to extraordinary efforts to die of mushroom alcohol poisoning.
I'm trying to work out if this is why hobbits like mushrooms so much...

I don't think there's anywhere else on the web where you can look at maps and receive an education on mushroom chemistry
Agreed. It's amazing!
