SMV, standing for Stalburg Mushroom Virus, is a bioweapon reportedly researched by [[S.N.W]]. One of the main researchers was [[Xeander Berg]], who became infected with it. [[Jeff Walter]] was concerned about what [[S.N.W]] was going to do with the virus in a letter to him.

A [[S.N.W]] investigation by [[Sven Olsson]] describes SMV as "a kind of disease that slowly kills the target." It can also cause "strong hallucinations and strange and violent behavior." The origin of the virus seems to precede the bunker itself, since the document says "they found something" while building the bunker. All the SMV information was sold at some point to an unknown party.
''To-Do: Split this page into 3 separate pages [[Stalburg Mushroom Virus]], [[Fungal Disease]] (this is where major chunk of the Obenseuer gameplay should go), and [[Mushrooms]].''


==Mushroom Types==
The '''Stalburg Mushroom Virus (S.M.V)''', also known as '''Fungal Disease''' in public knowledge, is a deadly virus that infects certain types of Green Mushrooms, causing them to be harmful to humans, that is present in [[INFRA]] and [[Obenseuer]].
===Green===
Green shrooms are the most abundant type of shrooms found throughout Stalburg, and will kill you if you go near them for too long. They are frequently used as hallucinogenics by the residents, especially in [[tenements|Turnip Hill]], where there are drinks, food and even an entire cake centered around these green shrooms.


===Blue===
The virus was reportedly researched by [[Stalburg Nuclear Weapons|S.N.W]] and was descripted as "a kind of disease that slowly kills the target", causing "strong hallucinations and strange and violent behavior". The disease is spread by the mushrooms' spores, causing heavy coughing.
The only place in INFRA where blue shrooms are found are in [[Kevin J Herts]]'s apartment in [[tenements|Turnip Hill]] in a tank, where Kevin notes that the blue shrooms have healing powers and have cured someone of illness.


===Red===
== Fungal Disease ==
The only place in INFRA where red shrooms are found are in tiny amounts on the ground where [[Xeander Berg]] and [[Eric Kleinmann]] died. It's theorized these shrooms are a byproduct of the green shrooms (SMV) consuming a human body.
In Obenseuer, Fungal Disease can be caught as a consequence of [[Starting Choices]] or from consumption of Green Mushrooms. Once present, its development inside the body will progress. It can lead to addiction that can decrease one's maximum physical health, and if left untreated it can even cause death.


It's also worth noting the "special coffee tin" that provides the Morko effect at the Mulex CoPan Coffee Machine has a red lid, which suggests red shrooms have a much different hallucinogenic effect to even summon Morko.
Progression of the disease is slowed down by consumption of alcohol or spending time in a [[sauna]], and stopped entirely by taking a [[Medicine|Fungicide]] available at [[Skeida Pharmacy]] (in mild and moderate cases) or undergoing surgery as performed by [[Dr. Pena MD]] (required for serious or extreme cases).


===Yellow===
After acquiring an [[OsRat]], player can connect with the [[Other Side]] and find Red Things; collecting them will decrease Fungal Disease and its progression.

==Properties==
== Progression ==
In a page from the "Mushroom Co. Research & Development Dept." notebook, the shrooms seem to be killed by cold temperatures. It is mentioned the "green glowing shroom part" is gone then. When Antifreeze was poured on the shrooms, they grew bigger, but still didn't survive the cold.
Green Mushrooms containing the S.M.V. will aggressively attack a human body they started to grow on. If left unchecked, it will eventually consume one fully. A body goes under following stages:
* '''1st day:''' Green Mushrooms are growing on the body
* '''18th day:''' Green Mushrooms are growing through the skin
* '''25th day:''' Weakness, inability to walk, memory loss
* '''33rd day:''' Complete infestation
* '''36th day:''' Death of the human body
