Plump helmets are mushrooms that can be grown by dwarves for Template:L, and are perhaps the most widely popular of the six underground Template:Ls. They are edible raw, but can also be Template:L in a Template:L or Template:L into Template:L, placing them among the most versatile of Template:Ls. Because they are also very fast-growing (taking only 25 days to mature) and can grow the whole year 'round, they are the staple Template:L crop of many fortresses, which enjoy multiple harvests per season.

Keep in mind that cooking plants destroys their seeds, or in this case their spawn*. Both eating a plant raw and brewing it will leave seed/spawn behind, which can then be transferred to a seed Template:L, planted and used to grow more. Template:L this crop is advisable to newer players because of the speed of growth and the easily edible result, as opposed to other crops that require Template:L and/or Template:Ling to be edible.

(* Technically, mushrooms do not have "seeds", but they work just the same in-game.)
