Lamarckism is certainly a losing bet with RL biology, but this is Warhammer where if you rub the glowing green rock on a squirrel it might develop tentacles and a taste for blood. I figured the already magic sensitive shrooms to raw magic it might induce some small mutation even though the substance is not normally mutagenic like warpstone.

Mathilde's previous experiments with the mushrooms indicated they were unchanged by the magic they contained. A goat that was perfectly able to locate and eat the Ulgu-rich mushrooms tore her 'stealthshroom' theory asunder.

That's still Lamarckism, we would need to breed them in an Ulgu rich environment and then select the ones that grew bigger and more Ulgu-rich, to breed the next generation. that's assuming it works that way with mushrooms, it could be one of those weird cases like apples in which the offspring is a crapshoot (hyper something, zygo.ty?).

that been said, epigenetics do exist and it's possible that just breeding them in an ulgu rich environment could work, at some level, with potentially faster results.

we'd have to grow the Shrooms in an ulgu rich environment, and harvest the ones that are least ulgu-y before they reproduce. And after that stage goes by, harvest the others.
That way, you get an initial lower quality harvest, followed by gradually increasing quality as time goes by.

MRoW, let the Nekomancy begin.

This is the whole point of going to Praag isnt it?

[X] Stirland, to see for yourself how the war against Sylvania is progressing.
Might as well check one of our greatest (personal) concerns before going out for a while.

Time to meet the new neighbours!

I think the idea of that option is that this lets us use a regular social turn action to get to know them, instead of having to wait until the expedition sets out.

Mathilde would probably think it's worth a shot, but from a modern perspective we know that Lamarckism is a losing bet and Mendelian selective breeding is the way to achieve this.

Weellll that's not entirely true. I believe there have been notable studies which give reason to believe some things can be passed on in that fashion, I'll be buggered if I can find any studies at the moment but yes as a general rule Lamarckism was onto a loser unfortunately.

I mean, I was set on 'Rite of Way', but fuck it. Let's really piss people off!

SNRoW is also difficult to pronounce, so there's extra bastard points from that bit too :D

Huh. I know sourcing rubber has been discussed in the past, but a I wonder how useful a specialised "grows rubber trees only" enchanted item might be.

A reason to name everything 'Mathilde's' That no one said yet.

It means that in the spell books, everything made by her will be in the same part of the books!
