Ceruleanized Mushrooms

The Ceruleanized Mushrooms are a Type "Achilles" Grapefruit Anomaly which exclusively occur in the dream, Infinite Silver. Upon loading into the dream, there is a low chance, depending on the steps taken to achieve it, of certain toadstools within the dream being Ceruleanized. Contact with Ceruleanized Objects will instantaneously delete a badge reward item from your inventory; no victims of this process have reported to have recovered them after leaving and rejoining the game. The Ceruleanization does not cease once you exit Infinite Silver, and can, under rare circumstances, spread to Windy Island. Upon your world being Ceruleanized, each dream will now have at least one Ceruleanized Object spawn within it upon loading. Ceruleanized Objects gradually convert meshes and bricks around them, and when enough entities have been Ceruleanized within the dream, it will reach Critical Mass. Upon Critical Mass, the dream's lighting will turn bright blue, and the music and ambience will disappear entirely. All items in the player's inventory, except the Crowbar, will disappear entirely. Upon rejoining, all badge items were not loaded into the player's inventory, and were presumed lost forever.

Encounters
Due to the sparsely known nature of Infinite Silver, very few people have ever risked encountering the Ceruleanized Mushrooms. The first encounter, however, was documented to some degree- allowing for the information we hold today to be spread. The victim had just completed Return to Axis after a lengthy route, and had AFK'd in the 12th House for several minutes. Upon stepping out, they saw a patch of mushrooms which had been Ceruleanized, though due to this being their first time exploring the dream, thought nothing of it. They sat upon the mushroom to try and take a screenshot, but were distracted when their Silver Net disappeared from their inventory. Trying to sit on the mushroom again, their Firmfired Slingshot was deleted as well. Convinced it was a normal function of the dream, they explored as usual and woke up, as we now know VERY narrowly avoiding Critical Mass. When they awoke, they walked out onto Windy Island and noticed that one of the trees had turned a dark color, which upon enhancing the image, seemed purplish-blue. When the first victim decided to jump on top of the tree for emphasis, their tools rapidly disappeared and forced them to enter Ten-Mou in order to retrieve a pie. Upon entering Ten-Mou, the second victim left the game, deciding to continue the conversation in private messages. While the first victim was AFK, Critical Mass was reached, which they only realized when their tools disappeared. No screenshot was recovered, sadly, as their first instinct was to rejoin.



Precautions
Although the Ceruleanized Mushrooms are highly dangerous if approached or allowed to reach Critical Mass, they are avoidable via leaving the game and rejoining unless enough have spawned. An AME (Anomalous Mischievous Event) involving this Grapefruit Anomaly can be a blessing in disguise, however, as it is noted that dreams with Ceruleanized Objects within them are uniquely impervious to the spawning of other entities.

WARNING!

If the Ceruleanization Count of any given dream reaches 20 or higher, you will not be able to evade it by rejoining. As of right now, research is being put in to understanding how to purify a game of Ceruleanization, however no promises can be made. Avoid Ceruleanized Objects at all costs, and stay INCREDIBLY vigilant after entering Infinite Silver by any means.
