Obviously with the POF nerf Zygomites are now pretty much useless for ironmen and feeding them is far more expensive than it's worth.
Personally, I'm not sure why they eat mushrooms but that's Jagex's choice, how about if they could also 'eat' logs? Mushrooms and mycelium use the nutrition in wood and logs to grow, so why not Zygomites?
The different tiers of logs could offer different nutritional value and increase happiness at different levels, and it would be a much easier way to keep them fed. It would also add some variety to what they can eat.
