I stand by my post. I've had this item for years and I know full well what it is.
Would be like me going into trade and posting on a jewel saying something like, I get mass amounts of those in Isamu-Jima, not worth anything.
Instead of pm'ing the player and letting them know my thoughts on their item, or supplying some kind of evidence that their item was worthless.
I remember when heartwood first opened, People were running around like crazy collecting the blessed red topped mushrooms. The server birth mushrooms that were worth TONS plummeted in prices.
I dont remember mass amounts of Unblessed mushrooms flooding the market. I believe Ruby has picked up on a rumor and not a fact.
So I guess the question to ask is when was the elf city released? (Mondains Legacy?)
I think 2005-2006?
When I search mushroom on these forums I get tons of pages. After several pages I found four mentions of the Mushroom.
1.) BrianFreud's rare auction 2016,
Rares Fest - Silent and Traders House Auctions Rules/Summary - Reminder: Traders Auctions end tonight (Friday)!
Not a single person mentions this MASS reproduction of the item.
Im curious as to why, Surely four years ago ONE* of these rare collectors would have known about this MASS reproduction/worthlessness of the item.
2.) Player selling same item 2016, No mention of the mass reproduction.
as most of you know its that time of year again when i decide id rather chase birds around in real life than chase idocs around on UO....so my castle and all its contents are for sell. would be a real nice starter castle for someone who wants to venture into the world of pixel crack. it is...

3.) Another rares collector buying server births purchased one in 2019, No mention of mass reproduction.

When I search for mushroom exploits, dupes, bugs etc. (On forums and Google) I come up empty handed.
The closest thing I came to was two people mentioning a mass reproduction bug in fourteen years, one of those people is Ruby. (I'm not targeting Ruby, That's just what it is.)
4.)

When I search Ultima Online Mushroom, or Ultima Online Server Birth Mushroom on Google, I find links to forums, player run servers, and these:

No more a server birth than empty fruit baskets, unfortunately. They actively spawn in dungeons, covetous is one that comes to mind off the top of my head, and are locked down but periodically you can find one that has spawned janky enough that it can be unlocked by placing something under it and removing it. Cool piece of deco nonetheless.

I have found links on Google that say this as well, those links belong to player run servers like this one:
Name:mushroom, Type:Rare, Category:Spawning -

I have not found any supporting evidence of your claim or Ruby's for that matter and again, I stand by my post. =/
