Mushroom Cove is a location in Lower Caves.

Description

“ It's a place where a couple of streams and rivers join up to form a cove. From there the water flows further down as Celeritas River which is joined by other streams and rivers and becomes more and more treacherous as it journeys on. Presumably it leads straight down into Deep Caverns and ends in a magnificent waterfall, but I'm not sold on that. ”

— Big Bret

A large underground lake, sprawling 3 map areas, where multiple small streams converge to form the Celeritas river. Cave Hoppers can be seen scurrying around the Lake Mushroom patches. Some Azuridae can also be found around the lake. Mordre can be found fishing in the lake.

At the west end of the northern shore, there is a small base that possibly belonged to Omega Station. It's abandoned and full of psi bugs. The base may contain entrances to random dungeons.
