## Trivia

Strange Mushroom has no defined Prices section. It has MaterialBase as a Parent, which uses ItemBase as a Parent. ItemBase has a Prices section defined, with extreme values (BuyPrice 99999 and SalePrice 0). Due to Inheritance, those extreme values are carried over to the Strange Mushroom.
