📋 About This Mod

Edits the Shroom Beetles to remove the existing items, and instead include a number of vanilla mushrooms as well as a rare chance to get some added by CC "Goblins" and "Rare Curios"

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod edits BirbWalker21's Shroom Beetles to remove custom ingredients and food, replacing them with vanilla and Creation Club mushrooms via three leveled lists. It's a personal tweak for players who want beetle drops to match ESO's behavior, with separate common, rare, and glow loot tables.

✨ Key Features

Removes custom ingredients and food added by the original Shroom Beetles mod
Adds three leveled lists: Common, Rare, and Glow
Red, Yellow, and Blue Beetles drop 2 Common and 1 Rare item
Blackreach beetles drop 1 Common, 1 Rare, and 2 Glow items
Rare list includes Creation Club mushrooms from Goblins and Rare Curios
Glow list gives higher chance for Glowing Mushroom from Blackreach beetles

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Streamlines beetle loot to vanilla and CC mushrooms, cutting clutter
  • Tuned drop rates: Blackreach beetles have a dedicated glow list for rare finds
  • Tiny mod with 77 endorsements and 12k downloads—community-tested

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires the original Shroom Beetles mod as a base, so you need two mods installed
  • Only affects loot—no new creatures or visual changes, so it's a niche tweak
  • Potential conflicts with other mods that alter beetle loot or leveled lists
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who use Shroom Beetles but find the custom ingredients redundant and prefer lore-friendly vanilla/CC mushroom drops. Also great for alchemists who want a reliable source of rare CC mushrooms like Steel-Blue Entoloma. Skip if you're happy with the original mod's custom items or want more than a loot overhaul.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Load this mod after the original Shroom Beetles so its leveled lists overwrite correctly.
  • If you use a mod manager, enable both mods and check for conflicts in the load order.
  • For Blackreach beetles, the Glow list is your best bet for Glowing Mushrooms—farm them there.
