1. Where does one get mushrooms? Can't trade for them. Thought the distillers might grow their own like witch doctors and herbs but I see no evidence of this.

2. Original missions, Prims, about a vision and the need to get 100 gold: does sending gold to the two brothers actually help or is it a farce? If so, how much (tried all that I had at the beginning, I think four gold per brother but nothing happened. I'm into day 10 now and have exactly zero gold accumulated.

3. Short of not paying or destroying and rebuilding a lab, is there a way to fire a researcher so one can hire a better one?

Pimmons can cultivate mushrooms after researching agriculture and mushroom farms.

Ah ha! I didn't notice any new buildings and didn't look to see if farms could grow anything other then grain - I'll take a closer look. Might be the same with the bugs and cactus I'm guessing.

OK, here's how it really works.

In the second mission, the area has no mushrooms as far as I can tell so building the structure to make mushroom juice is useless. In later missions, once the distillery is made and providing they exist, your gatherers will start collecting them and delivering them directly to the distillery. You can make them "express delivery" from their normal setting of "normal delivery". There is no capability to cultivate them.

Have the same question about mission with 100 gold. Somehow I passed it before (without cheating). But now I cannot recall, how I did it. Any ideas?
