Mushroom Cult

The "Mushroom Cult" was a religion practiced exclusively on Rum Island around the same time as the RPG "Knights and Stuff".

History
Little is truly known of this Mushroom Cult, despite this, current evidence proves that in the 3900's BC, this religion was nearly exclusively practiced on Rum Isle. The famous knights and Mortys were known to be adherents to this belief system.

Beliefs
Members of the Mushroom Cult, as the name suggests, worship mushrooms. The mushroom is taught to never be eaten, but instead to be feared. In the event of a mushroom worshiper encountering a wild growing mushroom, he was to cover it with grass or dirt, and by no means touch it. This was in hopes that the evil mushroom lords not come and cause destruction, like they had in generations past.

Mushroom worshipers also had a key that was to them held as a sacred relic. the key now exists in a R.O.M.A.N. museum, where it has been safely kept to this day.

Theories
It is widely believed that mushroom worship, beyond a doubt, originated in the wake of the Great Accident, A.K.A. that one time PG Copper blew everything up with nukes. The reason for this is because nuclear weapons are known to cause a "mushroom cloud" on detonation. Likely, as humanity regressed into simpler technology and ways of thinking, the tales of the great mushroom clouds that filled Old Earth became a legend, and eventually, generations later, an entire religion. More evidence for this theory comes from the key relic. Studies by many different scientists and historians have proven this to be one of the many keys PG Copper used to launch nuclear weapons, and devastate Old Earth.

Another theory, held mainly by skeptics argues that this nonsensical religion is merely the result of too much rum drinking on the part of Rum Islanders.
