Hypha Labs

Commune botany labs

***Commune botany labs***

**Hypha Labs** is a location in *Citizen Sleeper*.

#### Deliver Spores

*Riko has asked for samples of spores from the deep groves of the Greenway, with them she might better understand how this biosphere functions.*
(Item forfeit: Grove Spores)
**Outcome:** *Riko is grateful for the contribution. "Sleeper, you warm my heart with each delivery. Thank you."*
(+1 Spore Study)
### Clock

####  Spore Study

*Riko needs spores to study the strangely resilient biosphere that has formed around the Greenway. How is this place thriving?*
Filling this Step Clock triggers an active scene in which Riko shows you what she has discovered in her studies.

## Riko Wants to Study the Mushrooms

#### Girolle Samples

*The pale and delicate girolle mushrooms are more abundant than the matsutake, but Riko says they still help the process.*
(Item forfeit: Girolle Caps)
**Outcome:** *"Beautiful!" Riko gushes as you hand over the golden caps. You've never seen anyone so excited about mushrooms.*
(-1 Girolle Caps, +2 Fruiting Bodies)
#### Matsutake Samples

*The rich and pungent matsutake caps are Riko's preferred subject of study, something about their "environmental sensitivity".*
(Item forfeit: Matsutake Caps)
**Outcome:** *You hand over the caps and Riko looks pleased. "My amateur mycologist, thank you".*
(-1 Matsutake Caps, +3 Fruiting Bodies)
####  Fruiting Bodies (12 Steps)

*Riko needs mushrooms grown in the Aviary to study. She'll accept Girolle Caps, but Matsutake Caps are better.*
Filling this Step Clock triggers an active scene in which Riko gives the Sleeper a history lesson about the Greenway, and shares her findings from studying the mushrooms. She will then request that you bring her Clubhead Caps so that she may study an observed link between the fruiting bodies of mushrooms grown in the Greenway and the people who grow them.

## Riko Wants to Study the Clubheads

#### Clubhead Samples

*Riko is eager to see the clubhead caps that have grown in the Aviary, she hasn't seen mushrooms like this in decades.*
(Item forfeit: Clubhead Caps)
**Outcome:** *You hand them over to an eager Riko, who immediately begins work on the samples.*
(-1 Clubhead Caps, +1 Clubhead Analysis)
####  Clubhead Analysis (3 Steps)

*Are these fruiting bodies the same that emerged during the early days of the collapse? Or something else?*
Filling this Step Clock triggers an active scene in which Riko discusses her findings with the Sleeper - the Greenway is alive, and it communicates with its occupants by providing fungi with bespoke, helpful properties. She has discovered that she can extract Stabilizer from the Clubhead Caps which the Sleeper grows in The Aviary, and only the ones grown by the Sleeper.
You receive a vial of Stabilizer, and an Upgrade Point from the completed Drive.

At the same time, Riko wants the Sleeper to communicate with the benevolent entity hidden in the Greenway, and asks that they share what they learn.

Once the Sleeper has obtained Gardener's Seed, a new location in the Hypha Commune will unlock: Riko's Growbeds.

## The Fruits of Your Labour

#### Stabilizer Synthesis

*With a couple of clubhead caps, Riko can extract the miraculous stabilizer they produce. It's a hard thing to believe.*
(Item forfeit: Clubhead Caps)
**Outcome:** *outcome text*
(-2 Clubhead Caps, +1 Stabilizer)
