Aquatic Mushroom — Detailed Guide
A mushroom that refills water
The Aquatic Mushroom is an edible fungus in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. ASA describes it as "A wavy blueish-green mushroom with a glowing edge. Looks refreshing." The ASE text simply calls it an Aberration mushroom with a water buff.
Effects of eating one
According to the ARK Wiki, each mushroom restores 7.5% of a survivor's Water while draining 10% of their Food. Every mushroom eaten also gives 5 seconds of immunity to bioluminescent poisons, such as the Freezing Spores debuff. On Aberration, where the wiki notes that water is hard to find, it can serve as an emergency drink. In Custom Recipes it adds a strong water boost, and the 
Bulbdog can be tamed with it.
Gathering and loot
The mushrooms grow in small brown, blue and red patches spread across the map, and all three can be picked by hand. A Sickle collects them more efficiently but works only on the red and blue patches. Loot is another source: 56 crate types can contain them, among them Aberration Purple and Aberration Surface Yellow.
Spoilage, recipes and storage
It does not keep long: a mushroom spoils after 600 seconds (10 minutes) in ASA and 300 seconds in ASE. Our recipe data has one use in both games, 
Mushroom Brew, which takes 5. A piece weighs 0.1 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 10.
Maps it appears on
It was introduced with Aberration. The ARK Wiki also lists Crystal Isles, Fjordur, Genesis: Part 1, Genesis: Part 2, Lost Island and Valguero, and our records add The Island, Scorched Earth, Extinction, Lost Colony, The Center, Astraeos and Ragnarok.
