mutations.ts: spore-ridden mutation from mushroom and plague events; event category, multiplier 18, stackable true. weather.ts has no Plague or Mushroom Bloom row — Toxic Mist lists Toxic, Corrupted, Overgrown, not Infected. Cite mushroom/plague event banners from live play without inventing spore-storm durations.
Infected Mutation Grow a Garden
Infected is the spore-ridden event tag at 18× — fungal horror flavor with mid-tier environmental weight that stacks beside Toxic and Shroomified instead of replacing them.

How to trigger
Stacking rules
Infected is event/environmental. Alone the env factor is 18. The conflict map leaves Infected unpaired. Infected + Toxic (14×): sum 32, count 2, envBracket = 31. Add Shroomified (49×): sum 81, count 3, envBracket = 79. Corrupted can join the same dark/fungal week without a documented wipe. Growth remains exclusive; Overgrown is growth 5× and fights Golden/Rainbow, not Infected.

Infected value by weight
Infected applies a 18× multiplier in the event bracket. The table below shows the value it adds to a reference crop (base 50) across common harvest weights, so you can gauge how much this tag is worth before chasing it.
| Weight | Base crop value | With Infected (18×) | Value added |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | 50 | 900 | +850 |
| 2 kg | 200 | 3.6K | +3.4K |
| 5 kg | 1.25K | 22.5K | +21.3K |
| 10 kg | 5K | 90K | +85K |
Infected value impact
Spore bracket without contagious myths
Community jokes about infection spreading across plots are not in the data files. Treat Infected as a standard stackable event environmental on the crops that show the icon. Coverage of mature tiles during the event still matters for proc odds in general play, but no published contagion radius exists here.
Radioactive (72×) is a heavier toxic-green event neighbor. Infected + Radioactive: sum 90, count 2, envBracket = 89 — useful when nuclear/glitch storms overlap mushroom weeks, still additive bracket math.
Humidity pets versus event icons
Toxic (14× pet) can appear from swamp pets without Infected. Listing “full fungal stack” requires the Infected icon, not only Toxic Mist weather. Shroomified’s 49× often dominates the env sum when present — do not sell as if Infected were the headline multiplier.
Verify growth separately. Rainbow on a Shroomified + Infected harvest multiplies the large envBracket; Tiny growth would crush the same stack.
Common questions
- Does Infected conflict with Toxic?
- No. Both are environmental and can share the env bracket when both land.
- Is Infected on Toxic Mist weather?
- weather.ts Toxic Mist lists Toxic, Corrupted, and Overgrown. Infected comes from the mutations.ts mushroom/plague event description.
