The carrion crowns secondary ability is that the consumption of the mushroom causes those that eat it to experience the memories of the corpse that hosted the mushrooms within their dreams in the coming weeks. Most of these dreams are often the most violent and traumatic memories of the host corpse, including those of their death if it was a violent one. the other ten percent of dreams tend to reflect the greatest moments and joys of the host.
Lastly, when brewed into a tea and tempered with alcohol, the filtered concoction is a potent sleep aid that can cure almost all cases of non magical insomnia with regular ingestion.
Threat level Low
