Plants (food)

In Metal Gear Solid 3 to survive you must eat food. This article contains information about the plants in the game.

Russian Oyster Mushroom

 * Initial Taste:    Bad
 * Stamina Recovery: Low

Can be found at logs, or tree trunks. It maintains a black appearance. It does not taste too good, but does quite a bit of stamina recovery for its size.

Siberian Ink Cap

 * Initial Taste:    Bad
 * Stamina Recovery: Low

The cousin of the Russian Oyster Mushroom, it can be found on logs and tree trunks as well, but it tastes slightly better.

Golova

 * Initial Taste:    Tasty
 * Stamina Recovery: Moderate

A fruit, obviously found in trees. It tastes good, like most fruit and give a decent stamina increase. You can probably head out to your nearest grocery store and buy a mango, all you cosplayers out there.

Russian Glowcap

 * Initial Taste:    Fairly Tasty
 * Stamina Recovery: Special (Recharges battery!)

This is an odd one. A mushroom that glows in the dark and recharges your battery. Contact Para-medic after eating one for the first time, for a very humourous conversation.

Yobloko Moloko

 * Initial Taste:    Bad
 * Stamina Recovery: Minimal

The other common fruit in the game, this one is nothing like the Golova. The only similarity it has to the Golova is that they're round. And are fruits. Not worth the ammo to knock down.

Spatsa

 * Initial Taste:    Fairly Tasty
 * Stamina Recovery: Special (Puts eater to sleep)

Need a nap? Take one of these. Snake will heal some stamina, since he is really not moving and is regenerating stamina. Although, you should be warned; do not eat one around a guard. Snake will snore, guard gets alerted, Snake dies in sleep. Get it? Use on Eva for fun. Good fun ;)

Vine Melon

 * Initial Taste:    Fairly Tasty
 * Stamina Recovery: Moderate

A large plant that snake can eat. It's a melon, so naturally, it will taste good. It gives some good stamina too, so it's worth hunting for.

Fly Allargic

 * Initial Taste:    Bad
 * Stamina Recovery: Low

Bad! Bad! This mushroom tastes bad,gives low stamina AND posions you! Only good for the EZ Gun collecting and poisoning guards. Other than that, avoid at all costs.

Ural Luminescent

 * Initial Taste:    Bad
 * Stamina Recovery: Low

Unlike the name suggests, it won't recharge your batteries. It actually poisons you. Have fun.

Baikal Mushroom

 * Initial Taste:    Fairly Tasty
 * Stamina Recovery: Special (Scaly Cap Antidote)

Tastes pretty good for a mushroom and has a bonus healing feature. Joy!

Russian False Mango

 * Initial Taste:    Tasty
 * Stamina Recovery: Moderate

It's like a mango, but it isn't, as its name suggests. It's a good fruit to carry around, especially since it doesn't rot easily. It gives a fair bit of stamina too.
