The '''Dried Mushroom''', also known as the '''Dried Shroom''' or '''Wilt Shroom''', is a recurring item in ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' role-playing games, notably the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series. They are depicted as old, shriveled [[mushroom]]s that restore less health than their ripe counterparts.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Wilt Shrooms are one of three "dud prize" mushrooms, along with the even worse [[Rotten Mush]] and [[Moldy Mush]]. Along with the others, it can be obtained from either [[Grate Guy]] or [[Knife Guy]] as a "reward" when playing their respective games. It recovers 10 [[Heart Point|HP]] to an ally and cannot be used in battle.

====''Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Dried Shrooms are only sold in [[Dry Dry Outpost]] and by [[Rip Cheato]]. Their association with Dry Dry Outpost may be a reason for their rename. One Dried Shroom can also be found in a bush in [[Koopa Village]], and black [[Li'l Oink]]s leave them behind as well. Although they heal only 1 [[Heart Point|HP]], Dried Shrooms are required to be bought to visit [[Moustafa]]. However, the player must buy a Dried Shroom and then a [[Dusty Hammer]] at Dry Dry Outpost in that exact order, or it will not trigger the chain of events that allows the player to see [[Moustafa]]. It is also required to obtain the [[Red Jar]], where Mario has to buy a Dusty Hammer, a [[Dried Pasta]], another Dusty Hammer, and a Dried Shroom, in that exact order. Upon doing so, Little Mouser claims that buying those items in that order is part of an ancient will, and his part in fulfilling the will is giving Mario the Red Jar. When Mario eats a Dried Shroom in battle, he gags and sticks his tongue out in disgust.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Dried Mushrooms are sold at [[Westside Goods]] in [[Rogueport]] for two [[coin]]s. [[Mario]] has to buy a Dried Mushroom and a [[Dizzy Dial]] to gain access to [[Don Pianta]]'s headquarters.

The [[Puni]] [[Petuni]] is seen holding a Dried Mushroom while waiting to be rescued from imprisonment by the X-Nauts, revealing to the other Punies it was originally a regular [[Mushroom]] she had picked earlier to give to her brother [[Punio]] but it had dried out, turning into a Dried Mushroom. After Punio and Mario rescues her and the other Puni from their cell, Petuni gives Punio the Dried Mushroom, who eats and lies saying it tastes fine to cheer up Petuni.

Dried Mushrooms sell for one coin everywhere except for [[Twilight Town]], where they sell for four coins. Any mushroom becomes a Dried Mushroom when cooked with a [[Mr. Softener]]. Once the [[Cookbook]] has been given to [[Zess T.]], Dried Mushrooms can be cooked to make [[Mushroom Fry|Mushroom Fries]]. These can then be sold at the neighbouring shop for 5 coins.

After Mario defeats the [[Shadow Queen]], a mysterious treasure chest is found by [[Professor Frankly]]. If Mario chooses to come back to Rogueport after beating the game, the professor will find that it contained a measly Dried Mushroom, which he, however, views as a precious scientific relic as it proved that ancient societies ate mushrooms.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Dried Shrooms are dropped by [[Putrid Piranha]]s, [[Poison Cherbil]]s and [[Poison Pokey]]s and other enemies that cause [[Poison (status effect)|poison]]. In that game it heals 1 HP and cures poison.
