Glowing Mushrooms?

Post » Mon Jun 11, 2012 4:27 am

Chatting on skype with a friend from here, we looked up glowing mushrooms and effects, and something stuck me. If these are same mushroom that they used to make Falmer's drug addicts and blind, then why are these the alchemical effects this:

Can someone explain this?

Theres no proof that these are the mushrooms the dwarves fed the falmer. If they are it's probably because they were fed to the falmer for very long periods of time. Since elves live up to 200 years the falmer would have been eating them generation after generation for quite a while

Many things that normally heal become poisonous in larger and/or continuous doses.

Aren't they snow-elves, who adapted to living in the dark (hence their blindness)?

The http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Falmer are the Snow Elves.

OP I do not think there is any evidence of the kind of mushrooms the Dwemer gave them.

So then, if mushroom is according to lore gone, then how can they still be on it?

From what I've gathered, the mushrooms actually affected their genetics and made them blind.
