Mushroom Quest refresher... Level 9 you can see but cannot interact with a 
mushroom patch until you 1) find the fungal tome on the same level, 2) turn 
the tome in to Adria (the witch who sells potions and spells) and 3) return 
to level 9 and interact with the mushroom patch.  It will say, "woooohhhhh", 
and on picking up the mushroom you will say, "Now THAT's a big mushroom. 
Turn it in to Adria.  She will say something about the healer.  You do not 
need to talk to him.  Go down into the dungeon and use a single target spell 
if you are a mage or just kill a single mob on level 9 or deeper if you are 
a warrior or rogue.  A brain will drop from the first mob you kill after the 
Tome turn in.  Take this brain to Pepin in town (the healer) he will drop an 
elixir.  Take this to Adria... she will say, essentially, "keep it".  Drink 
it and gain plus 3 to all stats not already maxed.

Location of tome relative to mushroom patch.  Each time in Single Player I 
found the tome on the opposite side of the map.  If I found the patch on the 
north part of the map (up), I found the tome on the opposite north side 
(e.g. if I found patch on NE side I found tome on NW side, if I found tome 
on SE side I found tome on SW side).

The Fallen Hero does NOT drop the tome in single player (regardless of what 
cheat sites say).  He drops a normal spell book.

The above should refresh old original D single players on the quest (more 
than I found online in Google searches and the like anyway).

Hope that Helps and Happy Hunting! (oops, may have given myself away there 
to some old timers. :) )
