November is here, and that means it’s mushroom season! Several types of mushrooms can appear each day, and one of them will actually be a piece of mushroom furniture in disguise.
I got some bad news when I went to visit Gala: She’s packed up and ready to move out of town. 🙁 It’s sad to see her go…especially after just three months in Forest!
I’ve now lost two pigs in the last 3.5 months…but not the pig I really wanted out, Rasher. It’s never the ones you hope.
Down at the Roost, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Rockabilly for me. It’s definitely not my favorite, but I guess it’s alright. I’ve heard worse.
Back outside, Tom was asking if he should keep his catchphrase, me-YOWZA. To me, that’s a classic! I’m sure having him in my GameCube town for ~15 years has shaped my opinion, but I love it for him. In my opinion, it’s iconic…just like Hornsby’s “schnozzle.” 😛
One of my mushrooms today was a rare mushroom (worth 16,000 bells)! It only appears if you have a perfect town, and honestly, I was a bit surprised my town was still perfect. I have a lot of pitfall seeds lying on the ground near the gate, and a bunch of candy on the ground in front of the shop. But I guess my huge abundance of flowers has offset those flaws. Cool. 😎
But just in case, I picked up a few of the pitfalls and put them in my house. I don’t want to risk missing out on any rare mushrooms this month. Earning 16k just by digging up a single item is probably the easiest big chunk of money you’ll ever make in this game (well, other than the monthly interest on your bank account).
But between the mushrooms, today’s fossils, and a bunch of fruit I collected and sold, I made a whopping 100,000 bells on the day! Not bad for a day outside of bug season.
There have been times my towns were filled with weeds and I still found rare mushrooms.
