You now only get the new edible mushrooms which is much less valuable than materials to craft useful traps, especially since you lose them after missions & cannot carry them over. This includes those yellow mushrooms you find on the ground in forests, the purple red-spotted ones, & the hanging ones you see in caves & on some trees.

This makes Fiberous Herbs much more tedious to farm for again & renders that secret mushroom room you can find in some Canny missions incredibly useless.

I really hope Epic makes it so you receive both the new edible & the fibrous herbs because this is making crafting traps a lot more annoying than it already was.

Hey y'all, late update on this.

The release of Wildlife saw an increase in overworld mushrooms found throughout the map. There are still the same amount of fibrous herbs forgeable during missions, it just feels like much less because there are more overworld mushrooms around which do not carry it.

TLDR: The number of mushrooms carrying Fiberous herbs didn't go down, the number of mushrooms just went up.
