    What sort of thing do they brew?
    I'm not familiar with any mushroom alcohols, or drinks of any kind, for that matter.
    Are there any myconid workers? or would be sort of strange, maybe?

    Out of curiosity Larb, do you actually work with toadstools irl?

    Octen-3-ol is known as mushroom alcohol. It is also a by-product of mushroom preparation waste. It's not the sort of stuff you'd want to be drinking neat though as it's classified as category 4 oral toxicity.

    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 !
