Berries will only spawn naturally inside fruit bushes, which spawn randomly throughout the world over time.

Foraging

Main article: Foraging

Poor hunger-reducing berries can be found at any level of foraging, while the superior berries will become available at level 2. When foraged, each variation of berry will stack under the same display name of "Berry". However, each variation of berry will count as a new and separate ingredient for bonuses in cakes.

Poison

Most foraged berries have a chance of being poisonous. The only way to determine if an unknown berry is poisonous in a given run is to have picked up the herbalist trait during character creation, or have read The Herbalist. This will change the display name to "Poisonous Berry" with a poisonous icon .

However, there are some exceptions. Blueberries and Blackberries are never poisonous, though they must be visually identified by the player through the sprite as they are otherwise identical to other "generic" berries. All seasonally exclusive berries are also predetermined: winter berry and beautyberry will never be poisonous, holly berry will always be poisonous.

Trivia

• Despite the name in code and looks, the "posion ivy" berries are not always poisonous, similarly the "blue" and "black" berries can be poisonous as well.
• There's no rotten model for the Poison Ivy variant.
